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.

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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MP3URL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MP3URL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MP3URL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MP3URL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MP3URL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the MP3URL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MP3URL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MP3URL to close. However, some background programs may block the MP3URL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
