    hold shift, right click any .m3u file, choose "open with" from the menu that pops up. Choose what you want to open it, and then check "always use the selected application."

    ok did that, foobar is not in the list so i click browse go to foobar2000 and doubleclick foobar2000.exe and it goes right back to the list with windows media player highlighted...and foobar2000 never makes it into the open with list, very frustrating.

    and thought id mention if i drag an m3u into foobar it loads up just fine.

    i fixed it, i downloaded foobar2000 0.8 and installed to a temp dir, copied the file fooassoc.exe to my normal foobar2000 dir, uninstalled foobar2000 0.8 and ran fooassoc.exe from foobar2000 0.9 dir and associated all file types. why this file is not included with 0.9 i dont know.
