About MLP Files

An .mlp file is an audio file saved in the Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP) format, a lossless audio compression technology developed by Meridian Audio. The files can store high-resolution audio without losing any quality, making them ideal for preserving the full fidelity of the original recording. This format is most commonly associated with DVD-Audio discs, where it is used to deliver multichannel surround sound or stereo tracks at high bit depths and sample rates.

Meridian Audio developed the MLP format to reduce the storage requirements of uncompressed PCM audio while remaining bit-perfect on playback. Although its use has declined since the popularity of the DVD-Audio format waned, users may still encounter .mlp files when ripping or archiving DVD-Audio discs, or in professional audio workflows where lossless compression is required. Users can open .mlp files with FileHelper.com by dragging and dropping them to this page.

Converting MLP Files

You can convert .mlp files to other formats to improve compatibility:

• Converting to MP3: Makes MLP audio playable on nearly all devices and software, though it introduces lossy compression and reduces sound quality compared to the original lossless file.
• Converting to AAC: Maintains high audio quality with efficient compression, resulting in smaller file sizes than MP3 while offering broad compatibility with modern devices and streaming platforms.
