What is a .MUX file?
The .MUX file extension is associated with Trackmania, which is a popular car racing video game. This game allows players to design and build their own racing tracks. The .MUX files are used specifically to store the background music that plays during a race on these custom tracks. The content in a .MUX file is similar to that of an .OGG file, which is a common audio file format known for good quality. However, the data in a .MUX file is encrypted, meaning it is secured in a way that prevents it from being easily accessed or modified.
To open or play a .MUX file, you would typically use the Trackmania game itself, specifically the versions like Ubisoft Trackmania or Ubisoft TrackMania 2: Canyon. Unfortunately, the original Ubisoft Trackmania has been discontinued, but the .MUX files can still be used with TrackMania 2: Canyon.
If you want to convert a .MUX file into a more commonly used audio format like .OGG, you can use a tool called TMDemux. This utility helps decrypt the .MUX file, turning it into an .OGG file which can then be played on standard media players that support the .OGG format. This conversion is useful if you want to listen to the game's music outside of the game itself.
