1. Hightlight the file

2. Finder->Get Info (Command button +i)

3. When the window opens click on the triangle by 'Open with:' and select the program you want to open the file with and also you can push 'Change All:'.

Well to make QuickTime play most all media files take a look at the free Perian plugin and for non-DRM Windows Media files take a look at Flip4Mac.

Now I hope you know about VLC. On a side note for web radio streaming I personally use FStream because it is small and stays out of the way.

Just a few tips to add to Satcomer's info, more info at the "Switchers (Windows to Mac Converts)" forum.

QuickTime will play multiple files, VLC will play one at a time, If you have different versions of Flip4Mac installed, each will play a different file simultaneously, there are also these players available for Macs: Cellulo, MPlayer OSX PPC, NicePlayer, RealPlayer, RealOne Player and more. You can play a different file in each of these simultaneously; just be careful not to lock up your computer.
