What is SONG file?
The file with the extension SONG is the Audio Files file type. It was designed by Apple, Inc.. In addition to this file, the Audio Files category includes 771 related files. System 7 Sound appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. The main program that supports this format is Mac OS X. This was created by Apple, Inc.. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the SONG file. You can use Apple iTunes in case Mac OS X cannot be used.
How to open SONG file?
The most common problem when using System 7 Sound is that a specific SONG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SONG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SONG 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 Mac OS X
The first step is to check if the computer has the Mac OS X program installed. To do this, enter the name Mac OS X into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SONG files.
Programs to open SONG file
Remember to download programs supporting SONG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with SONG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SONG file still does not use the Mac OS X program, it means no association. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mac OS X application as the default for handling the SONG file.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Mac OS X program with the System 7 Sound 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 Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SONG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The SONG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SONG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SONG or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SONG 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 SONG 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SONG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SONG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SONG to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SONG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SONG to close. However, some background programs may block the SONG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
