Left click on one of the 'm' files one time to select it and then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file, choose Open With, select the program desired and make sure to check the box to always use that program.

Otherwise you could go into ITunes, for example and go to it's Otions and set the file types there. Same for Windows Media Player.
