I have a number of mp3 files in Dropbox on my phone. I used
to be able to play them by just clicking on them, and VLC,
which I have installed, took over. This is no longer so,
presumably after an update, and something else weird takes
over, and plays only a few minutes of it, or nothing at all.

How do I reset VLC as the default player of mp3 files?

Upgrade vlc if an upgrade is available
Uninstall it and re-install it?
