Audio CD play command

Under Folder Options, File Types, I have two icons (i.e. two separate
entries) for AudioCD. Each entry has one command, Play. The entries are
identical except for the Play command:

"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"
and
"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /prefetch:3
/device:AudioCD "%L"

I take it one of these is incorrect or superfluous and can be deleted. Which
one?

Keep this one:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /prefetch:3 /device:AudioCD
"%L"

Delete this one:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"

OR
Delete them both, then open WMP Options menu, check the box to associate it with
audio CDs again, click OK, and it will write it correctly, anew.

The deed is done.

Here's what happened next. I loaded a CD and WMP9 popped up with a message
whose text I don't completely remember, but ending with 'Do want WMP9 to try
to play the file anyway?', and a checkbox to not bring up this message again
for this file type. Meanwhile Ali Akbar Khan was playing along just fine
like nothibng was the matter so I checked the box and then looked in file
associations and the entry I had deleted had not returned. So I'm gonna file
this under "case closed". But with an asterisk.

Was Ali Akbar Khan playing with Ravi Shankar?

George Harrison's "The Concert For Bangladesh"
isn't totally unknown, ya know.

PS Don't forget Alla Rakha.

And did you know that Pandit Ravi Shankar was
a disciple of Ali Akbar Khan's father, Allauddin Khan.

Or that Yehudi Menuhin was more instrumental [no pun intended]
than the Beatles were in introducing and popularizing
Indian Classical Music in the West?

I actually have a wonderful autographed picture of Ravi Shankar and his
daughter Anoushka from a concert promotional photo in Houston TX - the only
autograph I've ever owned. I'm actually a disciple of Louis I. Kahn ("Icon",
to his detracters), who, unbeknownst to many, could have been a concert
pianist himself.
