Realplayer overriding Quicktime!! Help!

Booha · #1 March 11th, 2003

I'm using Limerwire Basic for mp3's and have run into a little problem. My mp3
downloads used to show up as Quicktime files but now, for some reason, any new
download is automatically encoded as a Realplayer file. I never altered the
preferences for Realplayer to do this. And adjusting the MIME settings in Quicktime
to exclusively play mp3's hasn't changed anything.

I've trashed every Realplayer file in my mac (hoping to erase any pref files),
but nothings changed. How can I get Limewire to encode mp3's into Quicktime again?

Thanks
PS: I have MAC OS 8.6

Use the File Exchange Control Panel to set .mp3's back to Quicktime

I had just the same same problem with RealPlayer taking over all my files even after I deleted it

What I did was delete Quicktime Player then download and install it again
