Hi May, As James mentioned, VLC is a good alternative player if you don't want to use iTunes. You'll need to download this from: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
You can also use QuickTime player, which is installed on your Mac, if you select a track and use the "Get Info" (Command-I) dialog as James outlined for VLC. Use item chooser menu (VO-I) to find "Open with" and VO-Right arrow to the pop up button. VO-Space and use your arrow keys to change the setting from iTunes to QuickTime player, or to VLC if you've installed it. Then VO-Right arrow past "Use this application to open all documents like this" to the "Change all" button and press with VO-Space. If you navigate to "Open with" and hear "collapsed disclosure triangle" use VO-Space to expand it so you can read the information under the "Open with" options. HTH.
