Hi ,
Just to add to what scott has said about using vlc player to play your
music movies etc you can change the default player for the music if you wish by
going to a music file and press command I to get the info for the file navigate
to the open with disclosure triangle press the space bar to expand vo right
arrow to where it says itunes app pop up button and arrow down to vlc player
that is if you have installed vlc player press vo space bar to select then you
will get a warning you don't have permission to change access to this document
only do you want to change permission to access this document with an extension
of mp3 to open with vlc player then navigate to continue this type of file will
then open with vlc player unless you revert your selection .
