2 Easy Solutions to Convert MSV to MP3 and Play MSV Files Directly

Solution 1 - How to Convert MSV to MP3 with the Right MSV Converter

Solution 2 - Install Sony Player Plug-in for Windows Media Player

Q: I just came across a new format I didn't know about from a Sony Memory Stick voice recorder and it was in the .msv format. Is there a free utility that can convert these files into a more common format (like MP3)? I have Audacity. Would that do it?

A: An MSV file, standing for Memory Stick Voice file, is a proprietary recorded voice file created by some Sony voice recorders. Similar to DVF (Sony Digital Voice File), MSV is also an exclusive audio format of Sony, so some common media players, audio editors, and third-party audio converters can’t support or recognize it, let alone those online audio converters. So if you want to convert and play MSV files properly, the following guide should not be missed.
