How to open PLSX file?

The main problem with Xtreamer Internet Radio Playlist is that the PLSX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PLSX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PLSX 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 Windows Notepad

In this case, you should first verify that the Windows Notepad application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Windows Notepad into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file PLSX.

Programs to open PLSX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with PLSX files

If, despite the installed application, the PLSX file does not start in the Windows Notepad application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 PLSX file with the Windows Notepad program.

Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Windows Notepad program with the Xtreamer Internet Radio Playlist file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PLSX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 PLSX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PLSX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PLSX 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PLSX 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 file PLSX 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 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 PLSX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PLSX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PLSX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
