How to open SACD file?

The most common problem when using JRiver Media Center Data Format is that a specific SACD is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SACD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SACD 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 JRiver Media Center

In this case, you should first verify that the JRiver Media Center application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name JRiver Media Center into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SACD files.

Programs to open SACD file

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

Step 2. Create association of JRiver Media Center with SACD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SACD file to open in the JRiver Media Center application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 SACD file with the JRiver Media Center program.

Step 3. Update JRiver Media Center to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the JRiver Media Center program, it is possible that JRiver Media Center Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the JRiver, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SACD file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SACD file. However, remember that not every infected SACD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SACD 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SACD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SACD 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SACD 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SACD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SACD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
