Changing Default App
 

Hi,

I would like it if everytime I opened an MP3 file, instead of having it open in Audacity, I would like it to open in Real Player.

I would like another music app but they don't seem to be able to get the different bitrates.

ALSO I would like to know how to get my "taskbar" back. Ever since I played with this one application nothing seems to go up there. However, all the other users on the computer have a taskbar.

Assuming you're using Ubuntu (and not Kubuntu or Xubuntu), right-click an MP3 (any MP3), go to Properties > Open With and make sure RealPlayer has a blackened circle next to it.

For the taskbar, press Alt-F2 and type If you're missing the window list, right-click on the panel and select Add to Panel and Window List.

Well, Real Player doesn't have a little black circle next to it. And I don't know how to get it there.

Yup, I'm running standard Ubuntu, with Gnome.

Also, it said the gnome-panel was already running. But, when I open gaim, the little taskbar icon doesn't appear up there.

I think it might be thinking KDE for somereason or another. But, I don't know where it'd get that.

Easy as eating chips.

Alright ctkroeker, just HOW DO I DO WHAT I WANT???

Sorry... wrong answer. (Stupid Smile)
right-click on the file and click properties, then click on the Open with tab, then make a screenshot and load it on a webserver and post the link here, so we can see whats up.

Click on the empty circle. It makes it black. If RealPlayer's not in the list, click the Add button and put it there.

Right-click the panel. Add to Panel and then select Notification Area.

Thank you much!!!

As it turns out, I was looking in the wrong menu.
I've also gone with XMMS Music Player. I like the way its "docked" to the screen.

I've also gotten that up there. There's all my icons!!! It also turns out I have software updates avalible.
