Professional Music Driver (PMD) is a music macro language format by Masahiro Kajihara. PMD was popular on Japanese PC-98 games, targeting Yamaha FM sound chips, and also supported Adlib/Soundblaster FM, as used by a few games localised for the western market. The format has a human-readable macro language for writing music, which compiles into .m and .m2 binary files.
