.MP2 File Extension

An MP2 file is an audio file compressed using MPEG-1 Audio Layer II compression. The .MP3 format has largely replaced the MP2 format. However, MP2 is still used for digital radio and television broadcasts.

You can open an MP2 file with many audio players and editors, including Microsoft Windows Media Player (Windows), VideoLAN VLC media player (multiplatform), and Apple Music (Mac). You can also use Audacity (multiplatform) and Adobe Audition (multiplatform).

Various applications, including Audacity, VideoLAN VLC media player, and Adobe Audition, can convert MP2 files to other audio formats.

For example, Audacity can convert MP2 files to the following formats:

• .AIFF - Audio Interchange File Format
• .WAV - WAVE Audio
• .MP3 - MP3 Audio
• .OGG - Ogg Vorbis Audio
• .FLAC - Free Lossless Audio Codec
• .M4A - MPEG-4 Audio
• .AC3 - Audio Codec 3
• .AMR - Adaptive Multi-rate Codec
• .OPUS - Opus Audio
• .WMA - Windows Media Audio
