applicationsdefaultsfilesystemfinderterminal
I found this app that I needed to disable from association to music and video files that it's capable of opening, and the app doesn't have an option to disassociate filetypes.
It's a media player, and after installation, it tends to become the default app for both music and video filetypes.
Is there any terminal command to dissociate the apps from any filetype it's defaulted to?
If not, any way to disable it from associating files as a default player for those filetypes?
Thanks!

Right click, Rename [n] items…
I just tested on some recipe text files I intentionally added accented letters to, but it ought to work on any file…
It does mean you'd have to go through each replacement, one at a time, á é í ó ú etc but it would get there in the end.
TextWrangler could do the same for the m3u file.

lsregister is the command to deal with Launch Services. To unregister an app use the -u option and the path to the app bundle. lsregister is not in the PATH - you have to use the full path to the executable:
