What is ZPL file?
The ZPL file has been categorized as Audio Files. It was designed by Microsoft. Audio Files consists of 771 similar files. Zune Playlist is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Zune. This was created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open ZPL file?
The main problem with Zune Playlist is that the ZPL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ZPL 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 ZPL 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 Zune
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Zune is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Zune in it. 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 ZPL files.
Programs to open ZPL file
Remember to download programs supporting ZPL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Zune with ZPL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZPL file to open in the Zune application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZPL file with the Zune program.
Step 3. Update Zune to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Zune program, it is possible that Zune Playlist requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZPL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The ZPL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZPL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZPL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZPL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZPL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair ZPL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZPL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ZPL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZPL to close. 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.
