How to open 8MED file?
An often recurring problem with Amiga OctaMed Music Format is that 8MED is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that 8MED files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 8MED 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 SoundApp
The first step is to check if the computer has the SoundApp program installed. To do this, enter the name SoundApp into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support 8MED files.
Programs to open 8MED file
Remember to download programs supporting 8MED files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SoundApp with 8MED files
If, despite the installed application, the 8MED file does not start in the SoundApp application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 8MED file with the SoundApp application.
Step 3. Update SoundApp to the latest version
If, however, after binding SoundApp with Amiga OctaMed Music Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 8MED file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 8MED file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 8MED or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected 8MED files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 8MED files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 8MED file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 8MED files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the 8MED file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 8MED file again. However, some background programs may block the 8MED file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
