Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun To Be With...

This evening I put today's charity shop bargain CD into my iBook. All I wanted to do was play some music.

However, Apple recently rolled out the latest iTunes update, so the actual procedure goes something like this...

iTunes opens.
iTunes shows me a load of screens related to web sites that don't interest me.
I press the "play" button, thinking in my naiveté that it will play the bloody CD. No - it starts playing a tutorial on how to use [expletive deleted] iTunes.
Exit that.
Finally I get a list of tracks on the CD, and I actually get to hear Glass's "Songs From Liquid Days," which is not at all bad although the lyrics are just a little OTT.

Is there any way I can get VLC media player to be my default DVD player?

Yes, sorry.

Try this:

1) Open the CD in the finder, select one of the music files, and drag it to your desktop.
2) Do File: Get Info (or Apple-i)
3) Select "Open With" and the app you want to use instead, and click on the "Change All" button in the Get Info box.

This would work for any other kind of file, but iTunes is tricky.
