The .rmp file extension is used for two file types – RealPlayer Metadata Package files and Magellan Raster Map files.

RealPlayer Metadata Package (.rmp) files store music playlist and song information in XML format. They are developed by RealNetworks to enhance the music listening experience while giving content creators better communication with customers.

Magellan Raster Map (.rmp) files are GIS files used by Magellan Triton GPS devices to save raster maps. They store bitmap images scanned from paper along with metadata for location information to calibrate the map to real world coordinates.

To open an .rmp file, programs like RealPlayer, iTunes, Mobile Atlas Creator can be used depending on the file type. RMP files can also be edited, converted or printed using compatible software. For example, Custom RMP maps can be created in Triton RMP Maker or RMP Creator. RMP files can be converted to other formats in Mobile Atlas Creator.
