M is an audio format created by Origin Systems and was used in several of their games from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The format stores music and, using drivers, can be sent to various output devices including AdLib, Creative Music System, Roland MT-32, Sound Master, SSI-2001, and Tandy 3 Voice. It is assumed that M stands for music.

M files are compressed with an LZH algorithm.
