The problem occurs when i select another song from the folder, it doesnt stop or close the current song playing, or even replaces it, but it opens up another quicktime window and the two songs start playing at the same time. Wtf? Who would ever want this happening? How do i get it working like windows media player (where the song stops and the program plays the most recent file chosen?)
Does it have to be Quicktime? You're right, quicktime behaves uniquely in this regard. Would you willing to try VLC? It acts much the same as quicktime, is lightweight, can play infinitely more formats of movie and changes songs in the way you are wanting.
