You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .emp. Files with the file extension .emp can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .emp files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

An eMusic music download file contains location details of the corresponding digital audio files where it is stored, and these files are saved in the EMP format. These are classified as data files, and this format was developed by eMusic.com for its download management application. Affixed with the .emp extension, these EMP files can be initialized by using the eMusic Download Manager software. This application was developed by eMusic.com to provide users with a set of features that can allow them to download batches of digital music tracks or entire collections of digital song databases that can be played in many digital audio player programs and electronic digital audio playback devices like MP3 and M4A players. When an EMP file is initialized using the eMusic Download Manager software, this program accesses the data stored in the EMP file to determine the location where it should download the corresponding digital music from. The eMusic Download Manager software then starts downloading the audio files. This application is also integrated with support for continuing and pausing downloads started upon the initialization of these EMP files. Metadata details like names of artists and songs as well as the cover images of the artist's albums may also be stored in these EMP files.

Launch a .emp file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .emp file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .emp files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .emp file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a  .emp file will open the correct application.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .emp files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .emp. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
