A MLP file often referred as Meridian Lossless Packing Audio file, is an audio compression format, specifically targeted at distributing digital audio content. Its main purpose is to store digital audio data in a manner that is much more space efficient than other lossless codecs. A MLP file consists of an audio data stream, typically with a 24-bit linear PCM bitstream, or the MLP layer followed by interleaved DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) data, which use a fractional bitrate.
The files size depends on the type of source material processed and the desired quality as the results of enocding can be adjusted to create various types of files. An important advantage of MLP is that it allows for incremental transfer of data over a network since there is no need for an entire file to be received before playback can begin. MLP files can be decoded in software with Windows Media Player, or hardware players mentioned in HighMAT specification.
Similar File Types
The MLP file type is associated with other types of audiofiles such as .ALAC, .APE, and .FLAC. These types of files are common when storing music or extracting audio from video footage.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MLP) 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 .MLP 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 .MLP 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 .MLP 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 .MLP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MLP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MLP 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 .MLP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MLP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MLP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
