'''CMS''' ('''Creative Music System''') is an audio format associated with the Creative Music System sound card.

== Identification == 
Files begin with ASCII characters "<code>CM</code>".

== Software ==
DOSBOX can emulate a CMS card (also known as a GameBlaster) by setting the following in your DOSBOX config file:
<pre>
[sblaster]
sbtype  = gb
sbbase  = 220
irq     = 7
dma     = 1
hdma    = 5
sbmixer = true
oplmode = cms
oplemu  = default
oplrate = 22050
</pre>
Download the CMS DOS software below and run <code>CMSDRV.COM</code> and then <code>PLAYER.EXE <song.cms></code>

No known modern software exists that can play/convert CMS files.
