I am presently running MacOS Catalina (10.15.1). 1. Within System Preferences, I have set CD's to do nothing upon being inserted: System Preferences, 2. Within the Music app preferences, there is ***NO*** option to disable the app from opening when a CD is inserted: enter image description here The only options available in the highlighted dropdown are: * Show CD * Play CD * Import CD * Import CD and eject * Ask to Import CD. Why Apple would have one setting that informs the computer not to do something, but another that overrides that confounds me. My issue is that I don't want the app to start when I insert a CD and I don't know how to resolve this, short of deleting the entire app because it's getting to be _very_ annoying.
