Just tell them to right click on an audio file and choose 'open with'.  It
will give them a drop down selection of programs they  have on their own
computer but they need to select 'Choose Program'.  They can then find
Audacity and if they click on the 'Always use the selected program' it will
be the default from then on.

Regards

Kate

Does anyone know how the user can specify a media player as the default
to open audio file links on the web?
Several students have asked me how they can configure settings on their
home computers so that (where possible) audio links will open
automatically with Audacity, or alternately a pop-up window will ask
them to select a program.
Currently, their browser always automatically opens audio file links
with a plugin. Most use Firefox on both PCs and Macs and would like to
be able to take advantage of features that the plugins don't offer
(slowing the speed, selecting a phrase at a time, etc.).
Thank you for any help.
