Step 2. Create association of JRiver Media Center with X-APE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the X-APE file still does not use the JRiver Media Center 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

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fault may also lie with the JRiver Media Center program, it is possible that JRiver Media Center Data Format requires a newer version of the program.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 X-APE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the X-APE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our X-APE file. Sometimes virus-infected X-APE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of X-APE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular X-APE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file X-APE 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move X-APE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the X-APE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
