Hi list. I'm trying to set my computer to play MP3's through windows media, and the radio through real player. I've had several e-mails from George and David but I'm still not managing to do this successfully. Does anyone else have any ideas of how I can just use real player to play radio stations? Thanks. Sue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 01, 2006 6:38 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Setting default mp3 player. Hi Sue, I've just updated my own Real Player. All you need to do is uncheck them all. You will still be able to use it as and when you need to.

Hi George. Thanks for the information. I'm afraid I haven't got anywhere with that either as I don't know what to check or uncheck. I'm quite a novice at these things so I'm wondering if I should just uninstall real player so I should automatically use media player in the future. What do you think> Sue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 01, 2006 3:29 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Setting default mp3 player. Hi Sue, There appears to be a similar option in Real Player. Perhaps you need to do some major unchecking there. The following is from real Player's help files. To view the current file-types that your Player can play and which it plays by default: Click Tools > Preferences.=3D20 Expand the Content area and select Media Types.=3D20 Click Advanced. Checked types are played by RealPlayer by default.

Hi David and George. I've done what you both suggested but my music is still being played through real player. Have you got any other suggestions?

To set Windows Media Player as the default mp3 player: 1. Open Windows Explorer ( Windows key + E ) 2. Choose Folder Options from the Tools menu. 3. The Folder options dialog opens. Move to the File Types page/tab of this dialog. 4. The first control on this page is a list of registered file types. Select mp3 is this list, Tab to the change button and press it. 5. An Open with dialog opens. Tab to the list "choose the program you want to use". Select Windows Media Player in this list, Tab to the OK button and press it. 6. You are returned to the Folder Options dialog. Tab to the Close button and press it. Hope this helps, it's a pain that realplayer tries to hijack some of the settings.
