How to open SA2 file?
An often recurring problem with Suprise! Adlib Tracker Music Module is that SA2 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SA2 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 SA2 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Winamp is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Winamp 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 SA2.
Programs to open SA2 file
Remember to download programs supporting SA2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Winamp with SA2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SA2 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 SA2 file with the Winamp program.
Step 3. Update Winamp to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Winamp program with the Suprise! Adlib Tracker Music Module 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 SA2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SA2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SA2 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SA2 file. Sometimes virus-infected SA2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SA2 files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SA2 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SA2 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 SA2 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SA2 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
