Music disk, or musicdisk, is a term used by the demoscene to describe a collection of songs made on a computer.  They are essentially the computer equivalent of an [[album]].  A music disk is typically packaged in the form of a program with a custom [[user interface]], so the listener does not need other software to play the songs.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/article/view/96/94|title=Endless loop: A brief history of chiptunes|journal=[[Organization for Transformative Works|Transformative Works and Cultures]]|date=2009|access-date=23 May 2015|first1=Kevin|last1=Driscoll|first2=Joshua|last2=Diaz|volume=2 |doi=10.3983/twc.2009.096 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150525141732/http://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/article/view/96/94|archive-date=25 May 2015|url-status=live|doi-access=free}}</ref>  The "disk" part of the term comes from the fact that music disks were once made to fit on a single [[floppy disk]], so they could be easily distributed at [[demoparty|demo parties]].  On modern [[platform (computing)|platforms]], music disks are usually downloaded to a [[hard disk drive]].

[[Amiga]] music disks usually consist of [[MOD (file format)|MOD]] files, while [[IBM PC|PC]] music disks often contain multichannel formats such as [[Fast Tracker|XM]] or [[Impulse Tracker|IT]].  Music disks are also common on the [[Commodore 64]] and [[Atari ST]], where they use their own native formats.

Related terms include ''music pack'', which can refer to a demoscene music collection that does not include its own player, and ''chipdisk'', a music disk containing only chiptunes, which have become popular on the PC given the large size of [[MP3]] music disks.
