Re: [Mac-access]: Downloading MP3 files from Sendspace
Well this is great, but for the benefit of those who have not heard the podcast for whatever reason, hearing impairment for example, would you be so kind as to re-state in writing (or someone else) s to how one can request VLC to be the default player for MP3 files? Many thanks. Eleanor On 6 Jan 2015, at 17:04, David Griffith daj.griff...@gmail.com wrote: 1. Open Safari. 2. Press command comma to open Safari preferences. 3.
