What is MP1 file?
The file in the MP1 format belongs to the Audio Files category. Audio Files consists of 771 similar files. MPEG-1 Layer 1 Audio Format is most often found on 4 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Android, Linux, Mac OS, Windows. The main program that supports this format is RealPlayer. This was created by RealNetworks, Inc.. There are also 12 alternative programs to handle the MP1 file. You can use Winamp, iTunes, VLC media player, Windows Media Player in case RealPlayer cannot be used.
How to open MP1 file?
An often recurring problem with MPEG-1 Layer 1 Audio Format is that MP1 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MP1 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MP1 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 RealPlayer
The first step is to check if the computer has the RealPlayer program installed. This can be achieved by typing RealPlayer 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 is a list of programs that support the file MP1.
Programs to open MP1 file
Remember to download programs supporting MP1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RealPlayer with MP1 files
If, despite the installed application, the MP1 file does not start in the RealPlayer 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 RealPlayer application as the default for handling the MP1 file.
Step 3. Update RealPlayer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RealPlayer program, it is possible that MPEG-1 Layer 1 Audio Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the RealNetworks, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MP1 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The MP1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MP1 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MP1 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MP1 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 MP1 files changes over time. 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 MP1 file corruption. 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 MP1 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. If possible, you can try to move the MP1 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MP1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MP1 file again. 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.
