You don't want to do that. Believe me. Unless you have a nice amount of RAM and the latest Java (you should always have the latter anyways); Limewire's .mp3 player is, how should I put this (without offending the devs :P), uh, not top notch. It can cause song skipping, resulting in users thinking that it's the song that's actually bad.
As for the opens-in-another-player-when-launched issue, it's not one (an issue I mean). The player plays .mp3. It will open any other format that is playable using your prefered player.
I, for one, use neither the Library's playlist function nor the .mp3 player as my preferred .mp3 player (only to preview stuff). Find the shared folder, create a shortcut if you want (although I heard that in Windoze they can cause problems...) and play the files through there. And thope that the devs will sharpen that .mp3 player in time for the next LW release.
