What is MAKI file?
The file with the extension MAKI is the Developer Files file type. It was designed by Nullsoft, Inc.. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Winamp MAKI Compiled Script is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The Winamp application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Radionomy.
How to open MAKI file?
The main problem with Winamp MAKI Compiled Script is that the MAKI file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open MAKI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MAKI 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. This can be achieved by typing Winamp into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support MAKI files.
Programs to open MAKI file
Remember to download programs supporting MAKI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Winamp with MAKI files
If, despite the installed application, the MAKI file does not start in the Winamp 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. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Winamp application as the default for handling the MAKI file.
Step 3. Update Winamp to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Winamp program with the Winamp MAKI Compiled Script file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Radionomy page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MAKI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MAKI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 MAKI file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MAKI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MAKI file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MAKI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nullsoft, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MAKI 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.
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 MAKI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MAKI file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
