The MMA’s Downloadable Sounds Specification Level 2 (DLS-2) is a logical extension of DLS-1 intended to be in-line with what is commonly considered state of the art today in multimedia computing. The specification is the result of collaboration between numerous hardware and software manufacturers represented by the MMA, as well as input from other organizations intending to use the format, such as MPEG (IEC/ISO JTC-1 SC-29 WG-11).

This document describes the playback device architecture as well as extensions to the file format which support additional DLS-2 specific chunks. For complete details of the Level 1 format, please consult the MMA’s Downloadable Sound Specification (Level 1) document.
