What about CD playback...does that work ok?

To change your default player, open your saved folder outside of LW (go to the LW library, click on Saved Files then click Explore...folder opens). Right click on a file > open with > choose program > select the player you want. Tick the box to always use the selected program to open files of this type > ok. Try another player other than iTunes & see what happens.
