5141.0. "Music files format??" by BELFST::MULLAN () Thu Oct 24 1991 12:11

    I've been looking around EOT for some music packages and came across
    some tunes such as 1812.arc, bolero.arc, and a few with no extension.
    
    I copied down the files, un-arced where necessary and tried to play
    them using MEDplayer with no luck.  Then I tried SMUSMIDI from Fred
    Fish but they aren't DCMS format so no luck there either.  They had
    their own icon so I tried clicking on them but with no response there
    either.
    
    Anybody know what player they require?

5141.1Format is DMSCJGODCL::LOENDERSLOOTThu Oct 24 1991 13:118
    These Music files you mention are DMCS format and have to be played
    with DMSC of a DMCS player. Since DMCS format is different from the
    SMUS format you cannot directly use a program like SMUSMIDI to convert
    it to MIDI files.

	I wrote SMUSMIDI to convert SMUS files save by DMCS to MIDI files.
	But DMCS saves 2 differeing formats: a proprietary one, and SMUS.
	Those files could be in the proprietary format.
	I don't know what format MED takes.
