As a general rule, do NOT use the built-in players that are included with many of the clients...
They are really only intended for simple preview functions.
You really need to use a 'dedicated' player as your default player...
You can have a variety of players installed such as some for video and others for music... You will want to select one of them to be the default player for a given type of file (or CD/DVD).
You do not want any built-in player, included in any client, to be configured as your default player.
If you are using Windows -
Try Musicmatch Jukebox as a starter for your music playing...
You can download that by clicking on the link of the same name in my 'sig' below. Try the free version first, but I would say that it is one of the very few programs out there really worth the small money they ask for it !
If you also download and install the
Nimo Codecs
that are also with a link in my 'sig', you will not only receive practically every extra file needed to play anything, but you will also get a quite good video player. Nimo Codecs are free. |
