What is a .MLP file?

File Extension: .MLP File Type: Meridian Lossless Packing Audio File Description: An .MLP file is an audio file that uses a special type of audio encoding called pulse-code modulation (PCM). This type of encoding captures audio signals with precise accuracy. After the audio is encoded, it is compressed using a technique known as Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP). This compression method, developed by Meridian Audio, reduces the file size without losing any quality from the original audio. MLP files are often used in high-quality audio formats like Blu-ray and DVD-Audio, providing about 2:1 compression. This means the compressed file is about half the size of the original PCM audio file.

Programs that can open .MLP files: 1. **VideoLAN VLC media player** - This is a versatile media player that can handle a wide range of audio and video formats, including .MLP files. It is available for free and can be downloaded from the official VideoLAN website. 2. **File Viewer Plus** - This is a universal file viewer for Windows that can open and display various types of files, including .MLP audio files. It can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store. 3. **Meridian MLP Encoder** - This program is specifically designed to create .MLP files. It is useful for users who need to encode their audio files using the MLP compression algorithm.

More Information: The MLP compression algorithm is particularly valued in the production of high-definition audio content. It ensures that the audio quality is maintained at its highest level while effectively reducing the file size, making it ideal for storage and distribution on media like Blu-ray discs and DVD-Audio. MLP files can be created using tools like the Meridian MLP Encoder, which is tailored for audio professionals and enthusiasts looking to utilize this advanced compression technology.
