Samsung AllShare Metadata Format | Samsung | Misc Files |
The MTA file extension is used by the Samsung AllShare metadata files. It serves the purpose of maintaining a database of media information on devices such as TVs, phones, and streaming media players that are connected to the AllShare network. The MTA files contain collections of artworks for each media item, as well as information such as the title, author, composer, and any related albums or playlists. This file format is also used in conjunction with other media streaming formats such as MP3, MP4, AAC, WMA, WMV, and DivX.
The MTA file format itself is an XML-based hierarchical system which can be opened using most text editing software. There are tag elements stored within the file to allow data to be stored in different categories. This includes tags for artist name, album and track titles, artwork location, and so on. The established format of the MTA files means it can also be read by other software applications such as Windows Media Player, VLC Player, and RealPlayer. This allows the users to take advantage of the file's streaming capabilities whenever they wish to browse content.
Similar Alternatives and Syntaxes
MTA files are similar in nature to other popular metadata formats for media streaming, such as those with the XML, TRP, and MXM2 extensions. Together these different formats provide ways for users to organize their content, allowing them to efficiently browse through relevant media items according to their genres or preferences.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MTA) 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 .MTA 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 .MTA 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 .MTA 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 .MTA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MTA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MTA 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 .MTA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MTA file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MTA file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
