how to stop quicktime from ruining all my files?

[Boo Boo]

other than uninstalling quicktime i try to download a mp3 , F'n quicktime plays the file in the browser window.

i have unchecked all files and browser settings but each time i click on the file it plays and doesnt allow me to save it like it does when QuickF#$k is uninstalled

go into file types and assign a new program or player to play the songs.

found out no fix, its Quicktimes way of bending the end user off ar pounding the stake in.

only works if you uninstall

download quicktime alternative.
even makes downloading apple film trailers easy

Will quicktime alternative play streaming trailers online?

If you're on IE, just search your temp internet files for the mp3 file.

works better
online in a window standard trailers work
and the high def links even give option to download
its superior, and basically decripples apples software.
now you can play the saved trailers in mpc gomplayer or whatever you want.

Echo the QT alternative. However - I have QT totally dominated. It does nothiong unless I tell it to. The key is in how it is installed and then your file associations. Disassociate QT from EVERYTHING except .MOV files. (That's really the only reason to have it.)

I'll do you one better: I only use QT (Alternative) for the downloader. MOV are associated with MPC-HC which is configured for DirectShow and CyberLink AVC decoder so as to use DxVA for Apple movie trailers (along with real content) and thus results in nil to li'l CPU utilization and thus lower power consumption while leaving full resources available for multi-tasking.
