pennymakespounds

as soon as i put a cd into my dell desktop xp ... itunes loads and it starts copying all the cd on to it .

Might be that i don't want some or all of that cd on my itunes at all .. how do i stop this happening

thanks

In itunes

Edit > Preferences > General

In there you will find a line which says "When you insert a CD" then there are a number of options. Change it to the one you want

looked at that thank you .. it's set as "ask to import" ... don't really know what that means .. other options..... import .. show or play ...

thought i'd been told once before something about saving music to "my music .. then taking it to itunes from there .. but don't know how that's done ?!

why don't they make these things "idiot proof" !!

If apple made their products idiot proof they wouldnt have a 78.3% market share on Portable media players

I'm pretty sure Apple have a 100% market share on iPods
(Sorry)

It mean what it says. It will ask you if you want to import, if you decline , it won't.

I keep my music on a separate partition, so that if windows bites the dust I still have my music on there after reinstall and not have to dig out my backups

But you wouldnt bother using i-tunes until you have a ipod, 78.3% doesnt make their software the best as there is nothing else you can use with an ipod (is there?).
Sony must have had about 99% of the mini disc market yet sonic stage is rubbish.
I have to admit though after soundly refusing to buy into the Apple corp I find myself hankering after an orange ipod nano 5th gen.......:D just waiting for the right money off voucher.

Crikey, there are quite a few, thanks for that one more good reason to get that nano.
