Sources of MOOD Problems
Common MOOD Opening Problems
Amarok Isn't There
When you double-click your MOOD file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Customarily, this means that Amarok is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your MOOD file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your MOOD, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Wrong Version of Amarok is Installed
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Amarok Moodbar Data File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you do not have the proper version Amarok (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Most of the time your Amarok Moodbar Data File file was created by a newer Amarok than what you have installed.
Tip: If you right-click on your MOOD file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening MOOD files are due to having the incorrect version of Amarok installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading MOOD Files
In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Amarok will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening MOOD files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- Invalid MOOD file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Corruption of the MOOD file description inside the Registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the MOOD format
- Something has caused file corruption of your MOOD
- The MOOD is infected with a virus
- MOOD-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Amarok Moodbar Data File file successfully
