The EMP file extension is associated with an encode audio format utilized by the eMusic. The format was created to keep music distinct for promotional and copyright reasons. It commonly contains similar bitrate and codecs as MPEG-1 layer 3.
Technical Details
The EMP file works off an asymmetric encryption of the MPEG-1 layer 3 audio files. The file is encrypted with a private 64-bit key and then decoded with a matching public key. The software used to play this format requires a public signature which resides at the end of audio frames and the beginning of an EMP file. The EMP file also uses an additional technique, packet ciphering that works to scramble the data during playback.
Similar File Extensions
Other audio file extensions related to the EMP format are: MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AAC, MP4, and M4A.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .EMP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .EMP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .EMP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .EMP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .EMP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .EMP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .EMP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .EMP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .EMP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .EMP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
