Files in the ENC format are specific to the Encore program, designed for purpose of composing music. Content of such file is the result of actions of the Encore program, that is – music score of created song, its whole composition.
Files with .MXL extensions store compressed audio data in MusicXML format. MXL uses ZIP compression format that allow to save space (MXL files are similar in size to MIDI files). MXL format was introduced as an extension to MusicXML format to facilitate sheet music exchange and music archiving.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the ENC file after converting to MXL may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from ENC to MXL to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting ENC to MXL does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in ENC format, properly converted to a MXL file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file ENC the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of ENC file to other than MXL. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your ENC file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to MXL on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the ENC file in its original format (without conversion to MXL file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
