This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OFS 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 Winamp

Programs to open OFS file
Remember to download programs supporting OFS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Winamp with OFS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OFS file to open in the Winamp application, but you can set it manually. 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 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 OFS file with the Winamp application.
Step 3. Update Winamp to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Winamp program with the OptimFROG Dualstream file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Radionomy website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OFS 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OFS file. 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 OFS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected OFS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OFS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OFS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, 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 OFS 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the OFS file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the OFS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
