What is an IT file?

The IT file type is primarily associated with Impulse Tracker. Impulse Tracker is music tracker created in South Australia by Jeffrey Lim. It is quite similar to the popular Scream Tracker by Future Crew.

How to open an IT file

You need a suitable software like Impulse Tracker to open an IT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" (Windows 10) or "Windows cannot open this file" (Windows 7) or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your IT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application.

How to solve problems with IT files

Associate the IT file extension with the correct application. On , right click or tap the file.
Update your software that should actually open Music Modules. Because only the current version supports the latest IT file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Impulse Tracker update.
To make sure that your IT file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
