Whenever I use my CD drive, Music.app launches. I don't want that.
I tried nicely by looking at settings. Nothing more annoying that programmers with fewer credentials than I telling me how I should use *MY* computer.
I have tried sudo rm /System/Applications/Music.app. Did not work. :(

Hi timothyprime,
Have you tired looking at CDs & DVDs in System Preferences?
Go to the Apple menu and come down to System Preferences and click CDs & DVDs. It's at the bottom next to Startup Disk. There you can choose what you want to have happen when you insert a CD. For example, I have mine set to "Ignore."
I hope this helps.

I discovered a trick. First I changed the setting from "Ignore" to launch Music.app. Closed to gain extra confidence the setting was saved. Then reopened and toggled back to "Ignore". That seems to do the trick.
For whatever reason, on a brand new machine (mine is <2 weeks old). The setting used is not the setting displayed. I wonder how many settings also have this problem.
Hi timothyprime,
Let's try this, if you go to CDs & DVDs in System Preferences and select Music where it says "when you insert a music CD." Quit System Preferences and then open CDs &DVDs again and change it back to "Ignore." to see if that resets the preferences to ignore.
I hope this helps.
First place I looked. As you show in your screenshot, it is configured to "Ignore". Sure would have been easy if this setting was more than decoration.
I'm glad you were able to solve it! I was going to recommend the same thing but you beat me to it.
