How to open ACS2 file?

The most common problem when using AIMP Media Player Skin is that a specific ACS2 is not associated with the program. This causes the file ACS2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ACS2 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 AIMP

The first step is to check if the computer has the AIMP program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name AIMP in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ACS2 files.

Programs to open ACS2 file

Remember to download programs supporting ACS2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of AIMP with ACS2 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ACS2 file still does not use the AIMP program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 ACS2 file with the AIMP application.

Step 3. Update AIMP to the latest version

If, despite the association of the AIMP program with the AIMP Media Player Skin file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the AIMP DevTeam website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ACS2 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 ACS2 file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ACS2 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ACS2 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 ACS2 file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ACS2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting AIMP DevTeam, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ACS2 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ACS2 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ACS2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ACS2 to close. However, some background programs may block the ACS2 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
