How to open A2M file?
The main problem with Adlib Tracker II Format is that the A2M file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that A2M 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 A2M 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 Winamp
The first step is to check if the computer has the Winamp program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Winamp in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file A2M.
Programs to open A2M file
Remember to download programs supporting A2M files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Winamp with A2M files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the A2M file still does not use the Winamp program, it means no 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the A2M file with the Winamp program.
Step 3. Update Winamp to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Winamp program with the Adlib Tracker II Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Radionomy website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A2M file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the A2M file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the A2M file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover A2M files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the A2M files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair A2M file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adlib
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted A2M 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the A2M file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the A2M file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file A2M to close. However, some background programs may block the A2M file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
