XM to TTA Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Convert TTA to FLAC or MP3 for everyday playback. If your files are still in XM format, this page is the shortcut: XM is the FastTracker II module format — the tracker scene's workhorse, with instruments, envelopes and effects baked into the file.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the XM format
XM (Extended Module) is FastTracker II's evolution of MOD: 16-bit samples, volume/panning envelopes, arpeggio and effect columns — the tracker format that scored the demoscene of the late 90s and still powers chip music communities.
Rendering XM to MP3/WAV through libopenmpt's engine reproduces the song with its instruments and effects intact — the same interpretation FT2 users heard, normalized into a universally playable waveform.
+ Strengths
- ✓16-bit samples and rich effects
- ✓Standard of the late-90s demo scene
- ✓Accurate libopenmpt rendering
! Limitations
- −Not a waveform — interpretation required
- −Filter quirks vary between players
- −Compression is minimal
About the TTA format
TTA (True Audio) is a no-frills real-time lossless compressor: simple 32-bit crypto-free checksums, multi-threadable encoding and IDs at both frame and file level. It filled the lossless niche on slow connections and in Russian archive communities where FLAC arrived late.
Decoding is near-instant and lossless, so converting TTA to FLAC or MP3 costs nothing in fidelity — the audio is identical, the compatibility is finally universal.
+ Strengths
- ✓Real-time speed on modest hardware
- ✓Simple, well-documented container
- ✓Error-tolerant frame structure
! Limitations
- −Compression ratios behind modern codecs
- −Ecosystem largely inactive
- −Tagging support is weak
Why convert XM to TTA?
Think of it as moving your file to the container that fits the job. Not a waveform — interpretation required TTA works differently: Real-time speed on modest hardware If any of that sounds like your task, run the conversion — it takes seconds and nothing leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this XM to TTA converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for XM to TTA?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Can I convert a whole folder of XM files?
You can select many files at once and they are processed in a single batch. Output files land in one ZIP download when there is more than one result.
Will converting XM to TTA reduce audio quality?
If TTA is lossless, the output contains everything the XM file contains — no further loss is added. If TTA is lossy, one recompression pass is unavoidable; the quality slider controls how much. Loss that already happened in the source file can never be undone by converting.
