The CMF file extension is a data format associated to Creative software. CMF files and Creative software were developed by Creative Labs. These files are audio files that contain music data in the form of notes and instruments that are used for playing back different sounds in synthesized MIDI format. They are designed to be used by Creative Sound Blaster sound cards and Creative software. They are also known as Creative music files. Technically, they contain three blocks of data, which include the header block, the instrument block and the music block. They were popularly used for computer games like Kiloblaster and Jill of the Jungle.

Synthesized instruments were produced using the Adlib/SoundBlaster OPL chips.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .cmf files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .cmf. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
