G'day from Oz.

Sounds like realplayer is set as your default player for opening mp3's.

mp3's can come through as realplayer, macAmp, iTunes & a few others. Only the file creator needs re-setting.

Try running iTunes, go to preferences and set it as default player.

Edit/Preferences/General/Use iTunes for internet music playback

Click 'set'.

As mp3 tunes download, the file creator should now be set to 'hook' automatically, and they'll show as iTunes icons.

Otherwise, you can always use FileBuddy or an AppleScript droplet to re-set them. Simple stuff.

I also wrote an Folder Action script that converts them as they are added to the folder just in case.
