CD AutoPlay can be enabled or disabled by using the CD portion of the Control Strip. However, computers that come with iTunes installed on the hard disk no longer use the CDStrip Control Strip module (CSM). The iTunes Strip CSM has replaced the CDStrip module but it does not allow you to disable Audio CD AutoPlay.
To enable or disable Audio CD AutoPlay follow these steps:
1. Open the QuickTime Settings control panel.
2. Choose AutoPlay from the pop-up menu.
3. Select or deselect the "Enable Audio CD AutoPlay" option.
