- File Associations, MP3
- Posted by ralphs on November 11th, 2007
In Windows Explorer *.MP3 associates with Windows Media Player. In Media
Player it shows that it will handle MP3 files. QuickTime Player shows that
it does not handle MP3 files.
But when I click a link to a *.MP3 file in Internet Explorer it plays the
file using QuickTime.
What can I do to fix this?

Check the MIME settings in QuickTime player. Choose Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences, choose Browser Plugin, and click MIME Settings.

QuickTime can handle .MP3 files as MIME (Browser-Plug-In) and as file
type as well. Note that these are *different* settings.
Control Panel > QuickTime > Browser Plug-in > MIME Settings > untick MP3.

Thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately the MP3 box in there is not
checked. What else can I try?
