How do I make Realplayer not default, I want to use WinAmp

[deecbailey]

When you first install Winamp, it gives you the option of making it
your default player by checking a box titled "associate Winamp with
all streaming formats", or something close to this. Once Winamp is
installed, I'm not sure if that option is still available or not but
in your case, you'll either need to find it or re-install Winamp and
this time make sure that box is checked! This will not prevent your
Real player from "stealing" default status back from Winamp, but it
will insure that Winamp will be your default player for MP3 streams
from sources such as Shoutcast, et.al. Your Real player will still
pop-up when accessing streams such as *.ram or *.ra, and Windows
Media Player will pop-up when accessing streams such as *.wap; *.wa,
etc., but Winamp will always pop-up when accessing streams *.pls or
*.MP3 (if such exists). Hope you find this helpful.

Good Luck
