[Dixielandjazz] FYI - Itunes problem

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

Apparently somehow Itunes did that but for some reason didn't set its self 
as the default which would have been OK.  It's also possible that when I set 
it up I told it not to default to Itunes but it turned off the others 
therefore nothing was the default.  I don't remember doing that but it's 
possible.

That preference is only there (I think) when you set up the program and I 
couldn't find it after it was set up.  I did look but I didn't want to dump 
the program and start over because sometimes you lose data too but that was 
next on the list to try.
Thanks
Larry
