How to open NML file?

The main problem with Traktor Collection Format is that the NML file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NML 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 TRAKTOR

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TRAKTOR is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TRAKTOR into the 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 NML.

Programs to open NML file

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

Step 2. Create association of TRAKTOR with NML files

If, despite the installed application, the NML file does not start in the TRAKTOR 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 NML file with the TRAKTOR application.

Step 3. Update TRAKTOR to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TRAKTOR program, it is possible that Traktor Collection Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Native Instruments, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The NML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NML file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NML file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NML 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 NML files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NML file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Native Instruments help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NML 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the NML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NML file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NML file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
