How to stop Media Center from trying to rip inserted CDs?

Dr Tone:
Please, can this be fixed?

When I chose "Do Nothing", I want the software to do just that.

No, I don't want it to even try to read the CD.  It just starts bumping heads with my other ripping software, when it's trying to read the disk.

Setting the AutoPlay-> Audio CD -> Nothing

Should do just that, nothing, IMO.

Matt:
You could rip with Media Center.  It has a very good secure ripper.

Or you could close Media Center when you rip with a different program.

Or you could disable the option I described.  I can't think why Media Center would be "bumping heads" with another program.  Windows itself reads the TOC of a disk when it is inserted, and this doesn't bump heads with our ripper.

I've run into the same issues.

Matt, here's the challenge.

Even with the "Options > General > Allow automatic CD lookup / submission" deselected, MC will do the following:

- spin up the cd
- show a "Working" dialog
- and then present the "CD Information"  Unknown album entry dialog.

That process happens when the Devices & Drives is selected, or if it's last selected, you quit MC, and then restart the app.

I do not want to have any of those process steps happen, unless I have the "Automatic CD Lookup" set to YES.  Or, unless I manually select "Update from Online Database".
