Music (*.mus)

Description

MUS is a format that is almost identical to a MIDI 0 file. Its uses the usual MIDI syntax, but it only allows one track of audio instructions. MUS was created by id Software for the Doom engine, and was used in all of the derivative games throught the mid 1990s. Winamp's default MIDI plugin supports MUS files, however, it is turned off by default so you'll have to manually associate the extension.

Other companies used a different format with a MUS extenstion, but until those formats are added to the VGMPF, they will be ignored.

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