What is an .MP2 file?

mp2 file icon

MP2 files are audio files saved in the MPEG Layer II (MP2) format, a lossy compression standard that reduces file size while preserving high-quality sound. Unlike lossless formats, such as APE or WAV, MP2 removes some audio data to make files smaller and easier to stream or broadcast. The format is commonly used in digital radio, television broadcasting, and other professional audio applications that prioritize consistent performance and compatibility.

You may encounter MP2 files when extracting audio from DVDs, working with digital broadcast recordings, or handling legacy multimedia projects. File Viewer Plus can play MP2 files and convert them to MP3 or M4A formats at different bitrates and frequencies, making them compatible with more devices and media players.
