== Description ==

Extensible Music Format (XMF) is an audio file container format developed by the MIDI Manufacturers Association. It is designed around the idea of containing all the files necessary for a musical piece - [[Standard MIDI File|Standard MIDI Files]], [[WAV]] samples, etc. The format consists of two parts - the XMF Meta-File Format, which is used by all XMF files, and a series of XMF file types designed for different purposes.

There are currently five different XMF file types:

* Type 0: Contains [[Standard MIDI File|Standard MIDI Files]] and [[Downloadable Sounds]]. MIDI data can be streamed.
* Type 1: As Type 0, but the MIDI data cannot be streamed
* Type 2 (Mobile XMF): Designed for use by mobile phones. Supports [[Scalable Polyphony MIDI]] and [[Downloadable Sounds|Mobile Downloadable Sounds]] content.
* Type 3 (Audio Clips for Mobile XMF Files): Also designed for use by mobile phones. Allows digital audio clips to be placed on the MIDI timeline, supports [[ID3]] metadata and can use Mobile Phone Control messages to control non-audio devices such as LEDs
* Type 4 (Interactive XMF): Designed primarily for use in games, this is designed around the needs of interactive audio.
