How to open file with .ODM extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .ODM file? Do you want to convert a .ODM file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .ODM

Full Name Developer Category
OpenOffice.org OpenDocument Global Text Document Format OverDrive Audio Files
.ODM

The ODM file extension is associated with OverDrive Media. It is used to store an account user's data, such as rent a book/ebook, bookshelf, language settings, and lending estimate. Files in this format come protected with the proprietary Digital Rights Management (DRM) from OverDrive. Such files can be viewed on mobile devices like Apple’s iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and Windows Mobile, as well as desktop computers. The DRM prevents unauthorized users from accessing the content of an ODM file.

ODM File Structure

The ODM file is an XML format-based file that contains information of the media and audio content in different folders for audio segmentations. It also includes folder names and type of folders (e.g. pictures, apps). Apart from these two main aspects, an ODM file also has several other components which are related to the user experiences. These include options related to playlists, displays, workspaces and user interface settings such as navigation menus and fonts.

Similar File Extensions

Other than the ODM file extension, there are other similar Digital Rights Management (DRM)-protected file types such as ODF, ODT, ODP, OPF, etc., that are used to store digital content such as music and videos.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ODM) 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 .ODM 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 .ODM 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 .ODM 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 .ODM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ODM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ODM 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 .ODM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ODM file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .ODM file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .ODM file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
