I stumbled upon some old photo albums on CDs from 2003, and I've found a few files with the .flp extension mixed in with my regular .jpg files. I can't open them like normal photos, and when I search online, it says that .flp is an audio file format? I'm a bit confused since these are in a photo album. What exactly is an .flp file, and how can I access it?

An .flp file is actually a project file used by FL Studio, which is a digital audio workstation for music production. It contains all the details for a music project, but it doesn't include the actual audio files. Essentially, it has settings, patterns, and sequences, but you need the original audio samples to play the project back. So, it's not a photo at all, just info relevant to music making!
Have you tried opening it as a zip file? Sometimes files that seem weird can actually be compressed. You might also want to check the file signature to see if that helps clarify its format.
To add some context, the .flp files are specifically for loading in FL Studio. They aren’t images, so it seems like there was a mix-up when the album was created. A lot of people use this software, so maybe whoever compiled the album accidentally included these project files.
Yeah, it's definitely a Fruity Loops file! FL Studio, which used to be called Fruity Loops, is what you're looking for. It's meant to be opened in the FL Studio program, not like a standard image file.
