Recently I installed Amarok on my system running kubuntu 13.10.  It set 
itself up as the default player for mp3, flac and m3u playlists.  I 
didn't want that so I went into settings, file associations and sure 
enough the defalt was amarok.  I reset these to vlc.  When I tried to 
play one, amarok opened to play it.  I went back to settings, file 
associations and amarok was set as the default for these file types.  I 
tried resetting them several times, but amarok was always the default 
player.  I finally fixed it by going back in, selecting amarok and 
removing it instead of moving it down the list.  Has anyone else 
experienced this?

Thanks
Derek
