You too!
A number of people have complained about this. I'd suggest you use your default player. To do this go to LW's Tools>Options>Player & untick the option box. Now your default player will load everytime you launch a song.
To create a default player, select an mp3 on your comp (not within LW), & either right-click or go File menu>Properties & Open with... & select your prefered app. If you don't have a great player may I suggest QLC it has built in codecs & plays most things & is free:
