File type specification:
The sty file extension is associated with the Microsoft DirectMusic, a component of DirectX API that allows music and sound effects to be composed and played and provides flexible interactive control over the way they are played.

DirectSound allows for the capture and playback of digital sound samples, whereas DirectMusic works with message-based musical data. Music can be synthesized either in hardware, in the Microsoft Software Synthesizer, or in a custom synthesizer.
