Ok, thanks to all. I decoded the file to a .wav, now it doesn't matter. It works fine in WMP now. Jim

Why can I > not have one music file open with WinAMp and another open with WMP?? Unless things have changed since I last looked, file associations are not done by folder but only by extension. You can tell the OS to open all *.mp3 files with WMP, for example, and all *.xxx files with WinAmp. There is no way (that I know of, anyway) to tell the OS to open one particular file with WinAmp and others with the same extension with WMP. Of course, once WinAmp is running, you can use it to open any file you want, regardless of extension. -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ---------------------------------------- To Change your email Address for this list, send the following message: CHANGE WIN-HOME your_old_address your_new_address to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note carefully that both old and new addresses are required. -- ---------------------------------------- To Change your email Address for this list, send the following message: CHANGE WIN-HOME your_old_address your_new_address to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note carefully that both old and new addresses are required.
