.MP2 File Extension

MPEG-1 Audio Layer II is a lossy audio compression format standardized in 1992. In addition to being used for radio and television broadcasts, MP2 was used to compress audio stored on Video CDs (VCDs) and some DVDs. The standard version of the format supports 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz sampling rates and bitrates from 32 to 320 kbps/sec.

NOTE: Files that contain MPEG-2 video are saved as .MPG files, not MP2 files.

To open a .mp2 file, you need compatible software that supports this file format.
