you can do it in the settings of your player of choice. I am mystified though
as to how music got changed to preview as the player.

Ok. Thank you. Question, how do I change the default player within information?
Right now, it shows as being preview when you open the file. I know that it was
Itunes and when something was playing and you hit command q it said quitting
Itunes. Now I hav
MplayerX and I'd prefer to open things there. Prior to this I've gone in
through menus and opened files that way. Unless I forgot and did command o.
When I was looking through information though, it did show preview as being the
setting, but I didn't see any way to make it be anything else if I should want
to. How do I do that? Thanks so much. I am slowly learning how to tame the
beast. LOL!
