Can't open MP3's

I can only open mp3's via mycomputer if i "open as" but if i click on it it says it can't find wmplayer.exe

I've tried deleting the file type from the folders option, no luck...


I also have it selected so it always open with wmplayer

I have winamp, i just want to be able to click on the file to hear it in WMP instead of having to > open as

My main MP3's are in winamp list, but if i download a MP3 just for the heck of it, not wanting to put it in my playlist, i want to listen to it via WMP so my playlist doesn't get screwed up..

Heh, then just right click on the file and theres an option that says 'Enqueue in WinAmp'. It will enqueue it into winamp, and it wont mess up your playlist.

Well, I was just giving you an easy alternative because WMP sucks.

Have you tried updating WMP to the most current version?

Did you know you can save your playlists in Winamp? Do that, and reopen it once you've listen to a single file or something.

I hate WMP.

In folder options->mp3 there has to be an error in the path of the program opening.

Right click on mp3->Select 'open with...', browse for mp3 and tick 'always use this program for opening these types of files'.
