What is NRA file?
The NRA file has been categorized as Audio Files. The author of this format is Nero. Additionally, the Audio Files category contains 771 of other files. Nero Audio Compilation is most often found on 2 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Nero Multimedia Suite to handle this file. This is a program created by Nero AG. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. You can use Nero Linux in case Nero Multimedia Suite cannot be used.
How to open NRA file?
The most common problem when using Nero Audio Compilation is that a specific NRA is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that NRA 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 NRA 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 Nero Multimedia Suite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nero Multimedia Suite is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nero Multimedia Suite into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NRA files.
Programs to open NRA file
Remember to download programs supporting NRA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nero Multimedia Suite with NRA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NRA file to open in the Nero Multimedia Suite application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Nero Multimedia Suite application as the default for handling the NRA file.
Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Nero Multimedia Suite program, it is possible that Nero Audio Compilation requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nero AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NRA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NRA file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NRA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NRA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NRA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 NRA files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nero help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NRA 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.
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 NRA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NRA file again. However, some background programs may block the NRA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
