This feature is only available for Windows user, it will not be supported for other platforms.

To associate music file to MusicPlayerEx, use 'MusicPlayerEx.reg Generator.bat' file. This file will generate the register file ('MusicPlayerEx.reg') and unregister/recover file ('Backup.reg').

First file created contains registry datas to associate MusicPlayerEx with choosen extensions (see Choosing association file underneath). Second file Backup.reg contains recovery datas of your original settings and datas to remove MusicPlayerEx from your registry => DON'T DELETE IT.

Note: 'Backup.reg' have read only attributes. Its datas are not replaced in case of multiple use of 'MusicPlayerEx.reg Generator.bat' file (always contains your original settings).
 

To choose file extensions to be associated with my player, open 'MusicPlayerEx.reg Generator.bat' with a text editor.

You can choose the extension associated with /reg command line option :
   MusicPlayerEx /reg list_of_extensions
ie
   MusicPlayerEx /reg env pls m3u mp2 mp3 ogg wav
 

Execute the file 'MusicPlayerEx.reg' generated in previous step.

This will associate extension with the player, add 'Play with MusicPlayerEx' in the context menu and associate the player logo as icon of associated files.
 

Execute Backup.reg :
 -> MusicPlayerEx will be entirely removed from your registry
 -> Original file association will be recovered

On windows, use "MusicPlayerEx.bat" for mp3 conversion.
