Streaming Mp3 : Why would I need to configure my browser ?

If you've ever downloaded more than one player, or have tried to play any number of file formats available online, your browser could easily get confused. You then need to edit your browser's file-helper settings. With most software you install, this process, called configuring, happens automatically. However, because of all the brutal competition among audio players, ditching one default player for another could require some extra fine-tuning with your settings, especially if you're using Windows. It is possible too that if you're using a non-up-to-date browser, the m3u file type is not configured.

How do I know if I need to configure my browser ?

You'll know you need to configure when your browser defaults to the wrong audio player, or if you're getting errors, or no players open whane you click on a mp3 stream link, or if the only thing that happens is the opening of the file (m3u) in text mode, with the URL of the mp3. Here's some mp3 players : Winamp (gratuit) if you're on Windows, and FreeAmp or Macast, or iTunes, if you're on Mac. Go back to the main Mp3 Help page to configure yoyr browser and player.
