Importing CDs

Is there a way to NOT have iTunes automatically add an imported CD to the library?

Go To

Edit > Preferences > Advanced Tab > Importing Sub-Tab

There is a "On CD Insert" drop down menu. Choose "Show CD"

have a happy day!

I think I didn't explain well enough what I wanted. I want to import some CDs but I don't want them added to the library automatically b/c I move the folders from where iTunes imports them and rename them as well. Just a hassle b/c sometimes I forget and then I have 2 of each song and have to delete and re-add and crap.

if you want to import CDs, then how do you expect the tracks to not be added to the library? 0.o

B/c I don't like how it puts the folder into the iTunes folder and not my My Music folder. Plus it doesn't name the folders/files the way I'd like. It's nothing that I can't fix but it would be easier if I could just add the folders/files myself once everything is how I want it.

holly crap stevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve, thats so much unessisary hands on work,

you can change the default libary location from mymusic/itunes/itunes music to just mymusic, you can also change how to name the tracks on import, take a good 5minutes and read everything in the preferences dialog box,

If you don't want iTunes to renme and move the songs then you can go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General and uncheck 'Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized'
