JC Medina, I am sorry for the trouble, you seem to be quite angry.
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this behavior. I do not have macOS 14.4.1,
only 11.2. There, I can select an audio file, Open with..., Other..., select an
application (e.g. "Music"), check "Always Open With", and finally click "Open".
It will then open with "Music". If I run Kid3 later, it does not change the
file association, it is still "Music" which is opened.
If this is some behavior which has changed between macOS 11.2 and 14.4.1, I
cannot help. I just can tell you that Kid3 does not overwrite any file
associations (I would hate that too). It just provides an Info.plist, you can
look at it inside the app bundle, kid3.app/Contents/Info.plist, e.g. using less
from the Terminal, there is a CFBundleTypeExtensions array with the file types
supported. You could try to edit this file if you think that it is wrong.
Afterwards you would have to tell the system to update its file associations,
probably using the "defaults" command. Please tell me if you find something to
improve, so we can make Kid3 a bit less of a POS program.
