Windows Forum / Windows Media / General Topics / July 2006Help needed on file extension
Hi there! Dont know for sure if this is the right newsgroup, but I'll give it a shot Received a audio-file with the MP5 extension. Never heard of it and so havent all my media players or my OS. Im sure it an audio file, Hex Work Shop mentioned the song and artist at the end. However in the leading header no file-type or mime type was specified. Anyone heard of this extension? And most important how do listen, open or even convert the file to lets say MP3. TIA M > Hi there! > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Anyone heard of this extension?

A file's extension is not an accurate indication of its file-type. >> Hi there! >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > The best thing to do is ask the person who sent it to you.

Still I would like to learn more of this extension, filetype and most of all listen to the file. ;-) TNX for replying though! >>> Hi there! >>> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > I know for sure its an audio file.

Again, the person who sent you the file should be able to give you all the information you need. >>>> Hi there! >>>> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > Again, the person who sent you the file should be able to give you all the > information you need. I know for sure its audio... My Hex Editor said so... Ill be happy to send you the screendumps ;-) or the actual file I received 2 files named: 0BD8DE95253241CF-03.mp5 and 03B378AAEED6F7C2-12.mp5. My best guess for now the *.MP5 file, noted the name, is some sort of encrypted audio file. Where I think ~-03 and ~-12 stands for the tracknumber. The leading 16 characters (~) before the tracknumber could be a (MD5?)hash or some other encryption key. Some Music Mangement Systems, as used in cafés, bars, malls and so on, got their own hardware. The manufacturer of the MMS or its distibuters often provides the service -on a contract base- to provide the audio -on CD, online or for example tru broadcast-. In this case it would be very hard to determin, or convert open or listen, the file. Only because the key is needed to play the audio in combination with the hardware, which often has a key of its own. And reading the above Im more puzzeled, I just want to convert the file both ways... Please ne1 to the rescue? TIA >>>>> Hi there! >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > I know for sure its audio... My Hex Editor said so...

If that means it's an audio file, then all my Word documents are music as well. > I received 2 files named: 0BD8DE95253241CF-03.mp5 and > 03B378AAEED6F7C2-12.mp5.

Why are you so reluctant to ask the source of these files for the information? >>>>>> Hi there! >>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > Why are you so reluctant to ask the source of these files for the > information? I know its an audio from a MMS system... Not reluctant... I just want to understand this extension and its properties TIA |
