I'm using Windows Vista and have told Foobar to act as the default program for all of the file types it supports, including .m3u playlists. When I play an .m3u file on my computer, Foobar starts correctly. However, when I use Subsonic and play with an external player, it always starts Windows Media Player instead. My XP computer at work starts Foobar from Subsonic correctly. Is there any way I can get Subsonic to launch Foobar as the external player in Windows Vista?

Nevermind, I figured out that it has to do with the Windows Media Player Firefox plugin. Starting Subsonic from Internet Explorer solved the problem.

To select default player of a music file foo.bar you just change it in Firefox at Tools -> Options -> Applications -> locate bar in the list and change it to either Winamp or "Always ask" should solve the issue.
