SMUS (IFF Simple Music) is a music sequence file format developed by Electronic Arts as part of the Interchange File Format ecosystem. This format was primarily utilized to store musical scores and note data for early Commodore Amiga computer software and legacy video game titles. As an obsolete standard, it has been superseded by MIDI and modern digital audio formats but remains significant for retro-computing emulation and digital media preservation efforts.
