    Red face Default MP3 player

    Hi,

    I'm using Audacious as my MP3 player, because I just can't take Rhythmbox any longer.

    I want to set Audacious as the default player for MP3s and Oggs, but I don't seem to be able to. When I open an audio file, it plays in MPlayer. There's an option in the GNOME context menu to open something with a certain programme, so I do that, and then you can choose the programme and tick a box to remember your choice. But the choice isn't remembered - audio still opens in MPlayer.

    So then I went to the Default Programmes option in the GNOME Preferences Menu, expecting to find MPlayer as the default media player, but it's not, it's Rhythmbox, which never opens if you double-click on audio files.

    How do I sort this out and make it so I can set this from one place? It's a pretty big usability fail. How do I make a bug report about it?

    Why not just set audacious in 'Default Programs'?

    In nautilus right click on the audio file, select properties and select audacious from the "Open with" tab.
