My computer has Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and MusicMatch Jukebox
Plus installed. When I insert a CD to rip or to play it defaults to Jukebox.
Before the updrade to Jukebox Plus, I got a popup screen asking me which
software I wanted to use. How can I get the popup screen back so that I may
choose the software instead of defaulting to any particular one?
Thanks,

I guess by removing the "file" association of Audio CD with Jukebox.
From the Explorer (but obviously there are more ways to the Registry):
Tools | Folder Options | File Types | <drop-down list> | Extension (NONE) -
File Type AudioCD | Advanced | <drop-down list> Play | Edit « perhaps
Remove straightaway.

Viewers are remarkably eager to associate all file types (even media types)
they can handle with themselves. Be careful upon installation.
