Change Default Audio CD Player

To change your default CD player simply change its association to match the program you want to use.

To do so, inside any Explorer window, select View (Win9x) or Tools (WinMe), Folder Options. Click the File Types tab, select Audio CD in the list of Registered File Types, and then click the Edit button. Select the Play action and click the Edit button. Under Application Used To Perform Action, type the path of the program you'd like to use to play audio CDs, followed by a space and “/play” (without quotation marks).

In WinMe, just click the Change button in the Folder Options windows, and then select your new program.
