File Association

[jhuynh49]

Right now, my MP3s are associated with iTunes as the default application. I would like to set that to QuickTime, i.e. when I double-click an MP3, it'll play in a QuickTime window instead of the iTunes. Could someone tell me how to go about doing this?

1. Select an MP3
2. Get Info (Cmd + I)
3. Open With...
4. Pick Quicktime from the drop down
5. Check apply to all files of this type

Select an MP3 file
Go to File -> Get Info
Expand the "Open with" section
Select "QuickTime Player" from the drop-down menu
Push the "Change All" button

Alternatively you can use this, which allows you to control all file type preferences in System Preferences.

That's a very nice little preference pane. And to the others, post faster. 😀

Thanks to all! I've just installed this "Default Apps" which seems to be pretty useful and easy to use.
