Set MusicBee as default player

[crittysc]

I was wondering if there is a way to set MusicBee as the default music player.  I have windows 7 and right now it brings up iTunes when I click on a music file.  Is there a way to make it go straight into MusicBee? I went into default programs from the start menu but MusicBee is not in the list to make any defaults.  Thanks for any ideas.

I think you can open Edit -Preference -General tab go down to file types tick whatever file types you want to use with MB, tick Enable Music Bee In windows Explorer and context Menus. Worked for me hope it works for you, or maybe someone else will know of another way.

Oh before doing above make sure you are running MB As administrator or you cannot set file types,

Another way of doing it is by right clicking the music file in Windows, say "open with...", select MusicBee from the list or browse for it, then click the checkbox that says "always open with this application".
