MUS Support #160

Like MIDI, MUS is another format for music composing, you can download and try some of them here: https://ichigos.com/sheets/510

JS MUS2MIDI: https://github.com/gareththegeek/mus2midi

I think MUS is even closer to chiptune than MIDI, because MUS is the format of Doom: https://www.doomworld.com/files/file/10676-doom-mus-player-v099a/

Hi, thanks for the idea. However, if MUS can be converted to MIDI without loss, as seems to be the case [1], it is unlikely that I would add support for MUS. Other formats present a similar ambiguity, .S98 and .DRO (Dosbox Raw OPL) [2] for example. It makes more sense (for me to just convert them to the more capable .VGM.

Yeah, I mean just being able to convert to MIDI and play is pretty good already, less work = better.
