Question How do I change my default media player?

I have both Windows Media Player and MusicMatch Jukebox. How would I change my default media player from one to the other? I looked in Control Panel but I can't find anything.
Thanks.

You usually set the file associations in the individual program. For example, if you want to use WinAmp as your default player, during the installation you have the option of making it so. You can also change it in the preferances.

What are you trying to make the default player, anyway?

If you want to set the default for a particular file type, hold down the shift key, highlight the file, right click and select open with... select the appropriate program and check the box to always use that program.
