can't play mp3's in winamp

[Bamahusker]

i installed the recent quicktime version and i can't seem to get winamp to play mp3's online. they'll play winamp on my hard drive,so why won't it do it online? i tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing works. help!

Can you be a little more specific? What happens when you try to play MP3s "on-line"
What browser?
What happens?

This maybe? Maybe not?

Did you even try the suggestions in ^that^ thread?

[Bamahusker]

yes

this is similar to the issue i am facing. mp3's will play in my hard drive using winamp but quicktime defaults on the web, mp3 is not selected in quicktime and is selected in winamp. i don't get it.

[drewbar]

Then don't select MP3 in Quicktime, sounds like it resolves the issues to me.

[Bamahusker]

not an issue

it plays in quicktime whether i want it to or not. they play in winamp on my hard drive but that's it.

[Bamahusker]

any ideas?

i'm still waiting.

[Bamahusker]

hello?

no ideas?

go into winamp and make sure the file types are all set... especially the .mp3 in the preferences of Winamp

[Bamahusker]

they are

they are and have been set to play mp3,m3u amd pls. but still quicktime plays mp3's online. in my hard drive they play in winamp. makes no sense. m3u and pls play in winamp online as well.

[funkydude798]

ok go to the windows folder options and go to file types and make sure they are set to winamp and not quicktime and also go into quicktime and make sure they are not selected

[Bamahusker]

not working

there are no QT files in winamp but even if there were,i only have mp3,m3u,and pls selected and QT does not have mp3 selected. no green checkmark or box. completely empty. still plays quicktime instead of winamp online.

you already posted that

and if i'm not mistaken,i said that didn't work.

[siebe83]

Yes, I already posted that, but you did not say that it didn't work.

Please stop making new threads on this topic. You posted about this before, but never replied to JonnyMac's latest post in that thread. By starting new threads, you're cross-posting, which is against the Forums Rules.

Basically, this is a QuickTime issue, not a Winamp issue. For some reason QuickTime is opening MP3s clicked on in Internet Explorer. If you want to stop QuickTime opening your MP3s, either uninstall Quicktime (and install QuickTime Alternative instead) or go to the QuickTime forums (if they exist) for support.
