Question: some of the mp3's I download and/or transfer from my collection have the QT icon instead of iTunes. The only real annoying part of this is that they launch QT instead of iTunes if i click them. I've tried dragging them into the iTunes window and while this will play them with iTunes they still retain the QT icon and association.....any ideas why this happens and how to fix it so all mp3's are associated with iTunes?

Thanks!

You might have to adjust what programs are used for different file types from your browser's preferences. What browser are you using? If you don't want to bother with that, you can download a handy program called iTunes Associator which you can get here. You can drag an mp3 or mp3 folder over the program and it will automatically change them to iTunes files.
