Open FPL File

FPL files are data files that were mainly associated with Family Lawyer, a product by Broderbund Software, Inc. However, it's now discontinued. Occasionally, you might come across an FPL file and wonder how to open or use it. While the specific action to take might depend on what you plan to do with the file, several strategies might be applied to these files.

Opening FPL Files with Compatible Software

As stated above, these files were used by the Family Lawyer software, meaning the software would be needed to open FPL files. Check your files to confirm whether they were created with this application. Other software applications may also manage FPL files. Simple file readers, such as File Magic, can open various data files, including FPL files. But keep in mind, some data files may only be readable using the dedicated software, and cannot be modified.

FPL Files in FL Studio

In addition to being family data files, FPL files can also be related to FL Studio. FL Studio, by Image-Line, uses FPL files to save playlist files. If you come across an FPL file in the context of FL Studio, it's likely a playlist of audio tracks. To open such an FPL file, you would need a version of the FL Studio software.

Converting FPL Files

Another option to consider when dealing with FPL files is to convert the file to a different format altogether. Various online tools like File Suffix allow the conversion of FPL files to another format. This might be useful if you hope to use the data in a different application or ensure its long-term preservation.

FPL File Important Information

In summary, FPL files, although not everyday file types, have their places in Family Lawyer and FL Studio software. Accessing and manipulating these files depends largely on the associated software that created them. It's also worth noting that if you're unable to open an FPL file, it might be because you're confusing it with a file that has a similar extension. Double-check the file type and software required, and follow the course of action best suited to your needs.
