MUS, short for music, is a format that is almost identical to a MIDI-0 file, only with a smaller header. Its uses the standard MIDI syntax, but, since it's type-0, can only playback one track of audio instructions. MUS was created by John Romero at id Software for the Doom engine, and was used in all of the derivative games through the mid 1990s.
Winamp's default MIDI plugin supports MUS files, however, it is turned off by default so you'll have to manually associate the extension.
To create MUS files, John Romero created a tool called IMUSE (not to be confused with LucasArts iMUSE) that would convert MIDI files in to MUS files, and could also convert digital sound effects into MIDI or PC Speaker equivalents.
Vladimir Arnost has written up the specs of the MUS format, the text file is encoded in Unicode.
