How to open RF64 file?
An often recurring problem with Winamp RIFF64 Broadcast Wave Format is that RF64 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file RF64 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 RF64 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Winamp program installed. To do this, enter the name Winamp into the system search engine.

Programs to open RF64 file
Remember to download programs supporting RF64 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Winamp with RF64 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RF64 file still does not use the Winamp program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RF64 file with the Winamp application.
Step 3. Update Winamp to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Winamp program with the Winamp RIFF64 Broadcast Wave Format 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 Radionomy website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RF64 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 RF64 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RF64 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RF64 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RF64 file. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RF64 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RF64 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.
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 RF64 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. 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.
