Mobile XMF is a very compact media type providing + high-quality synthetic audio content for music downloading and + messaging applications that require MIME registration. This document + registers the media type audio/mobile-xmf. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Kosonen & White Informational [Page 1] + +RFC 4723 Mobile XMF MIME December 2006 + + +1. Introduction + + MIDI content is used commonly in the Internet. Typically, MIDI data + is stored in the Standard MIDI File (SMF) format [8]. This MIME type + registration uses the Mobile XMF file format for the encapsulation of + SP-MIDI [3,4] and Mobile DLS (Downloadable Sounds) [2] data. + + The MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA) and the Association of + Musical Electronics Industry (AMEI) have produced the Mobile XMF + standard [1], which was developed particularly for mobile MIDI [7] + applications. + +2. Registration of audio/mobile-xmf + + Type name: audio + + Subtype name: mobile-xmf + + Required parameters: none + + Optional parameters: + + revision: Mobile XMF file type revision ID + + revision is the Mobile XMF file type revision ID number from + the XmfFileTypeRevisionID field of the XMF Meta File format + 2.00. revision is encoded in hex in US-ASCII. + + prl: Playback resource list + + prl contains the playback resources included in all Content + Description MetaDataItems of the Mobile XMF file. prl contains + two-digit hexadecimal numbers representing data bytes from the + Content Description Meta Data. Each resource is listed exactly + once. A playback resource contains two parts: a prefix and + data. prl is a sequence of two-digit hexadecimal numbers + encoded in US-ASCII. Thus, prl has an even number of + hexadecimal digits. + + Example: If the file includes Playback Resource Lists such as + [00h 01h 00h 02h] and [00h 01h 00h 03h], the corresponding prl + is 000100020003 containing playback resources 01, 02, and 03 + each with the prefix 00. + + + + + + + + +Kosonen & White Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 4723 Mobile XMF MIME December 2006 + + + minimum-pr: Minimum playback requirements + + minimum-pr contains the Maximum Instantaneous Resource (MIR) + values from the first row of all MIR Count Tables corresponding + to the playback resources listed in prl. Only the largest + value from the values of the same resource is chosen. + minimum-prl is a sequence of two-digit hexadecimal numbers + encoded in US-ASCII. Thus, minimum-prl has an even number of + hexadecimal digits. + + minimum-pr requires the use of prl, and the values in + minimum-pr must be in the same order as the resources in prl. + minimum-pr is the more important of minimum-pr and total-pr, + because it defines the minimum playback requirements. + + Example: If the file includes the first rows of MIR Count + Tables such as [02h 00h] and [01h 01h] corresponding to the + above Playback Resource Lists, the corresponding minimum-pr is + 020001. (02 is the largest of 2 and 1, 00 is the largest of 0, + and 01 is the largest of 1.) + + total-pr: Total playback requirements + + total-pr contains the MIR values from the last row of all MIR + Count Tables corresponding to the playback resources listed in + prl. Only the largest value from the values of the same + resource is chosen. total-pr is a sequence of two-digit + hexadecimal numbers encoded in US-ASCII. Thus, total-pr has an + even number of hexadecimal digits. + + total-pr requires the use of prl, and the values in total-pr + must be in the same order as the resources in prl. + + Example: If the file includes the last rows of MIR Count Tables + such as [05h 02h] and [06h 01h] corresponding to the above + Playback Resource Lists, the corresponding total-pr is 060201. + (06 is the largest of 5 and 6, 02 is the largest of 2, and 01 + is the largest of 1.) + + Encoding considerations: + + mobile-xmf data is binary data and must be encoded for non-binary + transport; Base64 [9] is suitable for Email. + + + + + + + + +Kosonen & White Informational [Page 3] + +RFC 4723 Mobile XMF MIME December 2006 + + + Security considerations: + + Many synthetic audio compositions have associated intellectual + property rights. It is conceivable that the rights owners of + mobile-xmf content will want to protect their rights by applying + security mechanisms that prohibit the rendering of the content + without a legally acquired license to do so. These mechanisms + would be applied externally to the Content-Type defined here; + mobile-xmf content itself is not encrypted internally. mobile-xmf + streams do not contain executable content. Mobile XMF players are + robust against corrupted mobile-xmf content, because Mobile XMF + players ignore unidentified content. prl, minimum-pr, and + total-pr parameters can be used to represent Mobile DLS playback + memory requirements for protecting against the excessive usage of + playback memory. + + Interoperability considerations: + + Mobile XMF is a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) + specification developed by MMA and AMEI. Mobile XMF is based on + the XMF Meta File Format Specification v2.00 [5,6], which + standardizes a meta file format for the electronic distribution of + music. mobile-xmf data is stored in XMF file format [5,6]. + + Published specification: + + Mobile XMF Content Format Specification, MMA specification v1.0., + RP-42, Los Angeles, CA, USA. 2004. + + Specification is available from: + http://www.midi.org/about-midi/specshome.shtml + + Applications which use this media type: + + mobile-xmf is a synthetic audio format for the flexible + presentation of SP-MIDI and Mobile DLS instrument data on a wide + range of playback devices, particularly portable appliances such + as mobile phones, PDAs, and palmtop computers. + + Additional information: + + Magic number(s): + + First twelve bytes: + \130\115\106\137\062\056\060\060\000\000\000\002 + + + + + + +Kosonen & White Informational [Page 4] + +RFC 4723 Mobile XMF MIME December 2006 + + + File extension(s): mxmf + + Macintosh File Type Code(s): mxmf + + Person & email address to contact for further information: + + Timo Kosonen + Email: timo.kosonen@nokia.com + + Intended usage: COMMON + + Restrictions on usage: none + + Authors: + + Timo Kosonen + Email: timo.Kosonen@nokia.com + + Tom White + Email: twhite@midi.org + + Change controller: + + MIDI Manufacturers Association + P.O.
