How to open MUC file?
The most common problem when using Music Collector Collection Data is that a specific MUC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MUC, 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 MUC 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 Music Collector
In this case, you should first verify that the Music Collector application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Music Collector into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MUC with Music Collector. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MUC files.
Programs to open MUC file
Remember to download programs supporting MUC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Music Collector with MUC files
If, despite the installed application, the MUC file does not start in the Music Collector application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MUC file with the Music Collector application.
Step 3. Update Music Collector to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Music Collector program with the Music Collector Collection Data 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 Bitz & Pixelz BV page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MUC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The MUC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MUC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MUC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MUC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MUC 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 option of recovering data from damaged MUC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Bitz & Pixelz BV help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MUC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the MUC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MUC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MUC 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.
