I selected iTunes as default player and now I can't hear anything playing

Question

I've tried everything in the help menu and just can't get anything to re-set so that I can hear what it is that I am choosing to play. This is really frustrating. I would go back to Musicmatch, it seems like when I selected iTunes as the default player it cancelled it out? Everything was working fine before this evening.
Any ideas?

Try this, but copy the files that you'll be replacing and put them in another folder in case you need to put them back for some reason:
-Go to your Documents folder where your iTunes folder is that has these folders: Album Artwork, iTunes Library Genius, iTunes Library, etc.
-Go into the folder that says Previous iTunes Libraries and select the most recent library from before you had problems
-Copy that file and go back to the previous folder that has Album Artwork, iTunes Library Genius, iTunes Library, etc.
-You're going to replace two different files in the iTunes folder with the file you copied from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder: iTunes Library, and iTunes Library.itl
-The first copy can be renamed to the same name as the first file, iTunes Library
-The second copy, which will replace iTunes Library.itl, will be renamed iTunes Library.old
I had read online to replace only the .itl file, but that didn't work for me, so after playing around, this worked for me and everything was restored.
I hope this helps
