File Types

[HiRaX]

I would like Itunes to be my default app for opening aif/wav/ and mp3 files NOT pro tools. How can I acheive this in Tiger. Double clicking an aif and having Pro Tools take 3 years to open is annoying. I usually just preview stuff in the finder but how can I make this change?
Thanks

select one of the file types Get Info (Command I)
at Open With
change from PT to I-Tune

a full restart should have all of that file type opening in I-Tunes

you can change all 3 file types before the restart

hey, thanks for the tip, Craig!
Having .pdfs open in Acrobat (full) instead of Preview has been making me insane!

I made that change to 1 .aif file and 1 .wav file, rebooted and........I't only changed thos 2 files not all of them globally....Apple needs to make a File Types Section of System prefs like windows.....

Actually the original instruction was missing one step: when you change the associated App in the Get Info window, a button un-greys that says "Change All" click that one before you continue. HTH

Thanks, I prob would of figred that out had I been doing get info and making the change. Instead I was control clicking the file then doing open with other, selecting the app (itunes) and checking always open with.
