Default Can't Open Some Downloaded Songs

When I download some songs into the "Shared Folder" if they load as "MoviePlayer Document" they open just fine with QuickTime Player, however, for no reason at all (even during the same downloading session), sometimes they download into the "Shared Folder" as "Limewire Document" and since there is no player with Limewire for OS8.6, I can't open them. (As when I try to open them it just sends me back to Limewire to try to open them which of course fails without a player.)

I am on OS8.6 with Limewire 2.7.13 and do not have iTunes and have already set the QuickTime Preference MIME Settings for MP3 files to "Use QuickTime Plug-in". Changing the setting to "Use QuickTime Player" seems not to help at all.

I have read may similar posts but still can't figure out what to do or how to change the Limewire Document to a MoviePlayer Document. I saw someone had written an Apple Script to do it but I don't know how to get it and/or use it.

Can anyone offer any assistance?
