Songbird on XP


Recommended Posts

In a Linux forum I came across Songbird - a beautiful application that lets you listen to music on the web and many other things. I made it my default media player on my Ubuntu box.

I found out it has a Windows version and wanted to make it the deafult media player on my Win box, it's just that Songbird doesn't have a 'make me a default player' option . So I went to control panel>folder and changed all media files to be opened with songbird. Butl when I click on a media file it still opens it with Windows Media Player .

Is there any other way?

You could try doing it the long way around, open up your music folder, right click on a file and select 'open with > choose program'. Then select songbird from the list and tick the box that says 'always use the selected program to open this type of file'.

Thank you , it didnt work but it might be due to some bugs in songbird itself as it is in beta stage at the moment.
