What is an ABM file?

ABM files mostly belong to Audition by Redbana. ABM filename extension is mainly associated with albums used by various multimedia programs. Audition, a music/dance video game client saves music albums in ABM files. An album doesn't contain actual music. Instead, it contains a list of music files and thier metadata (e.g. links and thumbnails). Database exports created by Alpha Anywhere relational database management system are saved in ABM files. ANNO 2070 role-playing (city building) video game, saves texture data for models in ABM files. These ABM files are actually RDA (game data archive) files with a different filename extension. Some discontinued programs such as PhotoStudio and Photo Impressions saved photo albums in ABM files. These files contain thumbnails and links to images. ABM files allowed users to group images in different folders into a common library.

How to open an ABM file

You need a suitable software like Audition to open an ABM file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.
