Author Topic: Itunes as default media player (Read 1131 times)

Ticonderoga · June 19, 2014, 04:16:42 PM

I tried googling this but couldn't find anything, maybe I was just wording it badly.
But anyways, I have itunes set as the default media player for all file types, and when I open a single song it goes straight to itunes.
However whenever I hit the "Play All" button, it alwas opens up windows media player.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Pretty sure this problem would carry onto any other program that I tried to make deafault.
And I have an iPhone why would I not use iTunes?

Because it's a really unintuitive media program. Besides, if you're listening to music on your computer, what difference does it make if you have an iPhone? :P

Well obviously you use iTunes on your iPhone, but why not just use WMP or VLC on your computer?

Not for Apple products, but it doesn't do that in iTunes either unless you sync it. I hate Apple products because you literally cannot upload songs to them without iTunes; it's locked in file explorer and rejects all other programs.

hahaha no. i don't have time to plug in my phone and organize music myself. it's easier to actually go and let a program do it for you.

i actually tried to use other programs again since i have awesome speakers and i hear no difference from winamp, foobar, VLC, or god knows what.

if someone can seriously recommend me a program that syncs music without being locked to some stupid app on android, i'll be happy

can you just shut up?? changing the program has absolutely nothing to do with the problem he has. he will continue to have this problem regardless of what program he uses
