Luminous Song List is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open LUM file?
An often recurring problem with Luminous Song List is that LUM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open LUM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LUM 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 Luminous
In this case, you should first verify that the Luminous application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Luminous into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LUM with Luminous. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LUM files.
Programs to open LUM file
Remember to download programs supporting LUM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Luminous with LUM files
If, despite the installed application, the LUM file does not start in the Luminous application, you must create a file 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Luminous application as the default for handling the LUM file.
Step 3. Update Luminous to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Luminous program with the Luminous Song List file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Kevin Chong website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LUM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The LUM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LUM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LUM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LUM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LUM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LUM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Kevin Chong, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LUM 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the LUM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LUM to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
