What is PLM file?
The file in the PLM format belongs to the Audio Files category. Audio Files consists of 771 similar files. DisorderTracker2 Module is supported by 1 operating systems.

How to open PLM file?
The main problem with DisorderTracker2 Module is that the PLM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PLM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PLM 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 Awave Studio
In this case, you should first verify that the Awave Studio application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Awave Studio in it. 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 PLM.
Programs to open PLM file
Remember to download programs supporting PLM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Awave Studio with PLM files
If, despite the installed application, the PLM file does not start in the Awave Studio 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PLM file with the Awave Studio program.
Step 3. Update Awave Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Awave Studio program, it is possible that DisorderTracker2 Module requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the FMJ-Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PLM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the PLM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PLM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PLM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PLM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PLM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PLM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PLM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
