Jeri's right in terms of MusicMatch. One thing I've found out about it is that, if you accept the 'Express' installation (the default), MM doesn't open the file type selection screen. If you select 'Custom' installation, it does, and that's the only thing you're allowed to customize. So I recommend the 'Custom' choice for any MM installation. However, as Jeri also says, you can make the selections after installation.

The real problem with these types of programs is that they change either file associations or browser settings, often without any notice to you. Then, it can be a real headache trying to restore settings and still get the different programs to coexist.

Clifton53, I've got a Pentium450 system with 128MB of RAM, and I still can't get Mudcat radio as a live stream. I am able to play the archived copies though, and I can get many other radio stations just fine. Never had these problems until RA version 8 though. Go figure...

Mary, you might want to check your browser settings. If you use Internet Explorer, click on 'Tools,' 'Internet Options,' then 'Advanced.' Scroll down to the 'Multimedia' section and make sure the 'Play Sounds' selection is checked. If this isn't the problem, check the file association. WinAmp may have made some change that needs correcting. To do this, open Windows Explorer, click on View, then Folder Options. Click the File Types tab. You'll have a box listing all registered file types and giving the program used to open that type. Highlight MID files and check to see what program is listed for opening MIDI files. If it isn't the one you want, simply remove MID files from the list (thre's a button to do that) and close. Then find a MIDI file on your disk and double-click on it. You'll get the dialog box to choose a program for opening this type of file. If your program of choice isn't listed, click on Other and browse to the executable for your preferred program. Click on the executable and the new association will be registered. Hope this solves your problem.
