How to open BAM file?
An often recurring problem with Bobs Adlib Music is that BAM is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BAM 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 BAM 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Winamp is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Winamp into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BAM with Winamp. Below is a list of programs that support the file BAM.
Programs to open BAM file
Remember to download programs supporting BAM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Winamp with BAM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BAM file to open in the Winamp application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 BAM file with the Winamp program.
Step 3. Update Winamp to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Winamp program with the Bobs Adlib Music 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 Radionomy website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BAM 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:
The BAM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BAM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BAM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BAM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BAM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 option of recovering data from damaged BAM files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BAM 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BAM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BAM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BAM file again. However, some background programs may block the BAM file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
