What you'll see
Your project opens as its arrangement: the tracks down the left in their colors, and their clips along the bars with their notes drawn small and the waves of their audio, under the tempo and markers.
- Every track and clip • Zoom from the whole song to a beat
- Plugins and samples • A tab each, missing samples marked
- Play • The notes in General MIDI sounds, Audacity's own mix
- Export • Save as MIDI, WAV, MP3 or CSV
About RPP
Cockos released REAPER in 2006, a small, fast DAW for Windows, the Mac and Linux with a long free evaluation and an inexpensive licence, and it became a favorite of home studios, podcasters, game audio and post-production. Its projects are .rpp files.
An RPP is plain text in nested blocks: each track with its name, color, folder, volume and pan, its FX chain with every plugin's state, and its items, which point to audio files or hold their MIDI inline. The tempo map, regions, markers and the project's notes come with it.
Filepeek reads it in your browser. Tracks open in their colors with their folders, the items along the bars with their MIDI drawn small and the waves of the media you drop with it, and regions and markers above. Plugins lists each FX with its maker and format, REAPER's own, VST, VST3, AU, CLAP or JSFX, Samples which media it uses and which are here, and Play plays the MIDI with General MIDI instruments picked by each track's name. Export saves the MIDI and the lists as CSV.

Questions
How do I open an RPP file without REAPER?
Drop it on this page or press Peek an RPP. It opens as its tracks and items in your browser, on Windows, a Mac, an iPhone or Android, with nothing to install.
Which plugins and files does this project need?
Open Plugins to see every FX on every track and on the master, with its maker and format. Samples lists each media file the items play with its path, marked found when you drop it with the project. Export saves both lists as CSV.
Why doesn't it sound like the song?
An RPP holds the MIDI and the plugins' settings, not their sound. Filepeek plays the MIDI with General MIDI instruments picked by each track's name, so you hear the parts and their timing. Audio items stay silent.
How do I get the MIDI out of an RPP?
Open it, choose Export, then Save the notes as MIDI. Each track's MIDI items become a track of notes, with the tempo map and the markers.
Can I read an RPP as text?
Yes, it's plain text, so any text editor opens it. Filepeek shows it as its tracks instead, with each track's FX and media listed, which is far easier to follow.
