How to open DMF file?

The main problem with Delusion Digital Music Format is that the DMF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DMF 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 DMF 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 DeliPlayer

In this case, you should first verify that the DeliPlayer application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DeliPlayer in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DMF with DeliPlayer. Below is a list of programs that support the file DMF.

Programs to open DMF file

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

Step 2. Create association of DeliPlayer with DMF files

If, despite the installed application, the DMF file does not start in the DeliPlayer 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DeliPlayer application as the default for handling the DMF file.

Step 3. Update DeliPlayer to the latest version

If, despite the association of the DeliPlayer program with the Delusion Digital Music Format 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 DMF file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DMF 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DMF file. Sometimes virus-infected DMF 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 DMF 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DMF file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DMF 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. Copying the DMF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DMF to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
