I was messing around with andromeda(mp3 server) for the hell of it. I was setting up passwords and all sorts of stuff. When I click on one of the link to play the mp3s in IE, it would was asking me what i wanted to do with the playlist. I of course hit open instead of save and it would play in winamp just fine.

I password protected my site using IIS so that anonymous people couldn't access it but that required me to use Windows Media Player to play the mp3s since winamp couldn't authenticate. I was able to change the program to WMP simply by removing all the winamp file associations. IE then asked what I wanted to do with the file and what to play it with. I picked WMP.

I then decided to go with the built in login page in Andromeda. I removed the IIS password protection.

Now I can't get winamp to take control of the playlists. I have winamp set for the file and have it set to preserve file associations but WMP will not give up. Everytime I click on a link in IE to a playlist it automatically goes to WMP.

How do I get IE to use winamp when I click on winamp playlists? Windows XP knows to play playlists with winamp but IE always send the playlist to WMP.

Ghetto ghetto ghetto. This is what was happening. Everytime I clicked on it in IE it would reclaim the playlist as a WMP file type. I had to reboot into safe mode. Remove all file associations with WMP and it works now. Now I have to reassociate video file types with WMP.
