What is MUSA file?

Aleph One Music Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. The Aleph One application is recommended to open the file.

How to open MUSA file?

The main problem with Aleph One Music Format is that the MUSA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MUSA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MUSA 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 Aleph One

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Aleph One is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Aleph One 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 MUSA with Aleph One. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MUSA files.

Programs to open MUSA file

Remember to download programs supporting MUSA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Aleph One with MUSA files

If, despite the installed application, the MUSA file does not start in the Aleph One 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MUSA file with the Aleph One program.

Step 3. Update Aleph One to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Aleph One program with the Aleph One Music Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Bungie.org website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MUSA file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The MUSA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MUSA 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MUSA or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected MUSA 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 MUSA 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MUSA files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Bungie Studios, 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 file MUSA except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the MUSA file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MUSA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MUSA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MUSA file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
