What is an MSV file

MSV files mostly belong to Sony Digital Voice Editor. Primary usage (Sony Voice Recorder):

Sony Voice Recorder File: The most common MSV file is created by Sony digital voice recorders (for example, the ICD-PX Series) and is used with the Sony Digital Voice Editor. It holds recorded audio data. For support and downloads, see Sony Support.

Additional usages:

Game Save File: Some MSV files are used by Football Manager as a game slot save file to store game progress and settings.

Molecular Scene Viewer File: In a scientific context, a few MSV files contain data for molecular visualization (sometimes referred to as a Mass Spectrometry Data File) and are used by applications like Molekel or systems related to MassLynx.

Microsoft Save/Visio Stencil File: A small percentage are Microsoft save files that may store diagram stencil data for use with Microsoft Visio.

This extension is shared across different industries. To open an MSV file, it is important to know its origin so you can use the correct software.
FilExt.com notes: If the file comes from a Sony device, use the Sony Digital Voice Editor. If it is a Football Manager save, run the game to load it. For scientific or Visio-related files, use the specific application that created the file.

MSV file format:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the MSV files produces the following result:
