Tracking / Re: Xm To Xrns ?

The XM import in Renoise exists for just the purpose you're after. The reason why the playback isn't accurate is because making it compatible would restrict Renoise itself. The point is that if you have a good legacy module, you can continue working on it in Renoise if you make the manual effort of tweaking effects and such to re-create the original sound. At least you don't have to start from scratch.
Another way would be to export sections of your XM from FT2 in WAV and load the samples in Renoise. Sure the XRNS file would end up being huge, but the format is not as portable as XM anyway, what with the possible VST usage and the current lack of external player software.
Maybe even using both methods could prove to be the winning combination.

) The history of tracker music is full of copyright breaches but generally it doesn't interest commercial music copyright holders mainly because the songs don't generate profit and we're fairly underground (=unknown). It is when you go commercial with your music, even "big shots" like Purple Motion play it safe and replace the original samples ("Get down!", "Ten seconds to transmission"...) with re-recordings.
Hopefully that also makes MilkyTracker important enough for inclusion in the Wikipedia. (The MilkyTracker article has also been previously deleted on the grounds of not being notable enough.)
