Perhaps eMusic changed your file association defaults. I know iTunes loves to do that. If so, you need to associate the .mp3 file type back to WMP.
Go to the start menu search field. Type "file association." Even before you finish, this item will appear. Press enter on it. Wait several moments for all the fields to come up. After that you tab around for two fields. One is a button for the program type. Once pressed, you're presented with a list of programs. With any luck, WMP will appear in this list. If not, I believe "Other" is an option that will bring up more programs on your system. Then you tab to the long list of file types. Here, type very quickly .mp3 to get you close to the .mp3 listing. Going by memory, you now tab to OK. Perhaps there's an "apply" button to press first. I hope this gives you enough information to restore your preferred .mp3 file association. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Samco Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2014 5:31 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Need help with Windows Media Player Windows Media Player has been my default player for a long time on my Windows 7 laptop. IN the last week I noticed it no longer plays any MP3 files I press Enter on. Coincidentally, about the same time I have subscribed to the eMusic web service. WMP still comes up but the track is not played. I have tried forcing play with Ctrl-P and also going into the menus. I have also poked around all the menus but didn't see anything obvious that needed a setting to be changed. Any suggestions on how to further trouble shoot this? Thanks, Jeff
