what i like to do whenever wmp takes over with web media is click on the media button in ie. that should pop up the left hand bar with media crap. down at the bottom click media options --> click settings --> click reset preferred types. click yes. then try to stream an mp3, ie should pop up and ask if you want to play it in ie. check remember this option and then click no. if you have winamp set up to play .m3u or .mp3 (whichever your trying to play) it should play correctly.
