A file extension format specifies how information is encoded for storage. The EMD format was created in 1994, EMD stands for ABT Extended Module. EMD files are audio files used in Windows operating systems. To open an EMD file, use FMJ-Software Awave Studio. Awave Studio allows playing, editing, and converting EMD files.
EMD files were used in Micrografx Media Manager, discontinued business graphics software. The emd file contains data used by this program. We also have free online EMD file apps to view, edit, convert, merge, split, and compare EMD files without installing anything.
EMD has seven file types, primarily the ABT Extended Module audio format. EMD files are usually audio files but may also be data or text. EMD files are found on Windows and work on both mobiles and desktops. The popularity of EMD files is low, not commonly found on everyday devices.
If an EMD file can’t open, you may not have the right app associated to view or edit it. With an EMD file selected, double-click to open it with the default associated application. If that fails, the proper software to open the file is likely not installed. Downloading a free or paid app with EMD support can allow viewing and editing EMD files.

A chess program like ChessBase Fritz uses EMD files. These contain chess endgame move databases. The program uses them to play endgame sequences perfectly instead of thinking through each move. For example, if the game reaches a king and queen versus king, rook and bishop endgame position, Fritz uses EMD files to choose moves for the rest of the match.
EMD files help programs like Fritz play much faster in the endgame. Without using databases, the program would have to calculate individual moves procedurally. Databases remove this need. So by relying on EMD files, programs can speed up endgame play.
There are two .EMD file types. One is for the ABT Extended Module audio format. The other is the Fritz Tablebase format which chess programs use. In Windows, .EMD files can open with the Awave Studio program or with ChessBase Fritz.
