Music (*.mus)

Description

MUS is a format that is almost identical to MIDI except that that, like a MIDI 0 file, it only allows one track. It was used by id Software for their DOOM engine, and all of it's derivatives during the mid 1990's. Winamp's default MIDI plugin supports MUS files, but you'll have to manually associate the extension because it is turned off by default.

Accolade also used a format called MUS which is different from id's MUS format. There are currently no games in the VGMPF that use Accolade's MUS format, so for the time being it is ignored.

Vladimir Arnost has written up the specs of the MUS format, the text file is encoded in Unicode.
