iTunes 11 - Disable autoplay when importing

frugal_mike

Hi All

I'm having an annoying problem with iTunes 11 (latest update). When importing CD's it's suddenly started playing the songs while ripping them (and the ripping seems to be restricted to speed of the playback).

After searching through the preferences (Edit->Preferences) I can't seem to find any option to stop this happening. It wasn't doing it before so I guess I managed to change something without realising.

So am I totally blind, or is there really no option to turn off auto-play when importing?

The preferences are currently set to 'Import and eject' when inserting CD's, not to play.

Thanks in advance

If on Windows there is a separate os-wide AutoPlay control panel. Check its settings.

I assume Mac OS may have a similar widget under System Preferences.

Hi Nada666. Yes I forgot to mention, this is on Windows 7. I checked the Autoplay settings (completely forgot about those), and for Audio CD's they were set to 'Import songs using iTunes'. I disabled autoplay completely (for everything), and iTunes stopped playing the songs.

I then re-enabled auto-play for everything and iTunes still didn't play the songs so it probably wasn't that. It's working now though so that's all that matters

Thanks for the help.
