FMOD is a commercial audio library made by Firelight Technologies that plays music files of diverse formats on many different platforms. It is used in games and software applications to provide audio functionality. FMOD supports a range of audio formats and numerous different operating system platforms.

FMOD comes in two versions, FMOD and FMOD Ex. FMOD Ex is the designation given to the 4.x series of the library, whilst FMOD alone refers to version 3.75 of the library, which lacks much of format/platform support added in FMOD Ex.

FMOD is available under multiple license schemes. It is available free of charge for non-commercial applications. FMOD may be used commercially under a number of different license types, such as Commercial License for standard commercial development, Shareware/Hobbyist License for single hobbyist programmers, and eDistributed Console Games for budget console game. Each license contains different restrictions, conditions and costs.^[1]
