How to open NRT file?

The main problem with Nokia Ringtone is that the NRT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NRT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NRT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Nokia Sound Converter

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nokia Sound Converter is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nokia Sound Converter into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file NRT.

Programs to open NRT file

Remember to download programs supporting NRT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Nokia Sound Converter with NRT files

If, despite the installed application, the NRT file does not start in the Nokia Sound Converter application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NRT file with the Nokia Sound Converter application.

Step 3. Update Nokia Sound Converter to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Nokia Sound Converter program with the Nokia Ringtone file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NRT file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NRT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NRT file. However, remember that not every infected NRT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NRT file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NRT files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file NRT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move NRT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NRT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
