    Change default app for CDs from Windows Media Player to iTunes?


    In previous versions of Windows, it was easy to associate a file type with a different program from its default, but in Windows 10 I don't seem to be able to figure out how to get my CDs to open automatically in iTunes when I insert them in the drive. They keep opening in Windows Media Player, but I want to them to open in iTunes so the songs I choose will sync with my iPhone Music.

    I have iTunes set as my default player--at least it appears that way under Default Apps--but it's not working in this instance. Normally, I would have simply gone to a list of file types and associated .wmv with iTunes, but I can't find out how to do that in Win10 no matter where I look.

    :)

    Converting iTunes to Windows Media Player

    Are these songs bought from iTunes Music Store, or ripped CDs? An mp4 player will play iTunes ripped songs, as long as it's not in Apple Lossless or AIFF, but it won't play Music Store songs by default.

    Change default program for "Play all" button in media folders?


    Yes. As previously mentioned I have tried everything in this thread and more. Changing the default app is one of the steps in this thread. It hasn't changed the behaviour of the play all button, it still launches media player, not iTunes even though the default app for music is iTunes.
