Not sure if this an OS or software issue, but feel free to move it if I'm posting in the wrong forum. I'm having a problem with playing mp3 files. I think it "may" be an OS issue b/c I was also having a bunch of other issues that seem to have resolved after a dirty install. Anyway, here it is . . .
If iTunes is NOT launched, whenever I click on a mp3 file, I get a little woosh like something is starting to happen, but then nothing!!!

What gives? The only way it works is if my iTunes app is already open. Apple tech support "thought" he encountered this before, but none of the fixes (reset button; pRam; ditching prefs) have worked. Has anyone had this problem and/or know how to fix it? Many thanks!
