The IMF file extension, which stands for Id Music File, is a type of audio file that is created by Impulse Tracker, a DOS-based music sequencer. It is used to store digital audio information such as sound waves or instruments, samples, and playback sequences. The file format can also store lyrics, graphics, and other effects. Compared to other digital audio formats such as WAV, FLAC and MP3, IMF offers superior sound quality and long term stability.
Technical Details
IMF files are categorized as an uncompressed audio format which utilize a linear sampling rate of 44.1 KHz with a 16-bit sample resolution rate. Therefore, each note is digitally captured and stored in the audio file with great accuracy and detail. Since the file stores many tracks sequentially, it is considered a multi-track file format capable of storing simultaneous music readings. The instrumentation component of the IMF is made up of samples and instrument patches used to play the samples.
Similar audio formats for storing digital audio data include XM, MOD, S3M, and ULT. All these files can be opened using any compatible Windows media player.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .IMF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .IMF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .IMF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .IMF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .IMF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .IMF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .IMF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .IMF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .IMF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .IMF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
