Thanks. This is great! I also managed to miss this for over a year. This is the main thing that I thought Renoise was missing. Thanks again.
New version (1.24) has a raft of changes/additions.
Most notably it can now spit out Flac files. More config is persistent across uses (e.g. album and genre tags). The song file (.xrns) can be saved before or after rendering/compression. Mp3 and Flac files can have an image file embedded within them. More tooltips.

If you’re running on Linux (or potentially Mac, but I’ve not tested it there) you’ll need to have lame, oggenc, and flac binaries installed somewhere in your PATH:
[sharedmedia=core:attachments:5530]
I’ve tested it on 32-bit Linux (Ubuntu), 64-bit Windows 7, and 64-bit Windows 8.1, and it Works For Me®.
If (!) you find any bugs, or have further suggestions, please let me know.
Again, if you’re running on WINDOWS download this : https://www.dropbox.com/s/nca2oqozwf8drsa/1.24.com.soundb3ast.ReLame.winbin.xrnx?dl=0 since it has the lame.exe, oggenc2.exe, and flac.exe binaries preloaded.
Thanks so much, this is such an awesome tool and these are fantastic improvements!
Thanks a lot for this tool. Can you add also m4a (mpeg4/aac audio) support? It’s much better than mp3 and is supported by all today’s audio players + itunes. Also m4a container supports apple lossless (ALAC), the pendant to flac. ffmpeg supports m4a and m4a-lossless encoding. Since m4a is standard in itunes, personally I would prefer apple lossless over flac and aac over mp3 (since quality doubled):

ffmpeg -i - -acodec alac "%f"
There is also a wonderful opensource lossless codec capable decoding/reencoding tool called “XLD”. Seems to also have a commandline:
