quicktime taking over......

ok, so.....i made time after work and before going out to water the garden and/or do yardwork....to see what fabulous downloads are available for me to embrace and adore....and at my favorite sites....quicktime played these songs...but would not let me download......wtf?.....what happened to winamp, which always asks politely if i want this file opened or saved...to desktop.....i couldn't quite recall how one changes a media default....and so 20-30 minutes later i was changing the defaults on every conceivable media-type......i have no clue how quicktime infiltrated my little world here on the lake......could have been someone who lives here....all it would take on a myspace popup would be the question- do you want quicktime to be your favorite media program.....and a yes could have done all this......let's hope that i can remember the magic words the next time that quicktime takes over...for the record, david byrne of the talking heads has a nice piece out......
