Automatically eject burned CD?

I am burning copies of my own band's CD. Upon completion the CD mounts in iTunes. I can manually eject it but then the blank CD icon remains on the desktop. It's annoying. How can I configure iTunes 8.1.1 to automatically eject burned CDs? I thought there used to be a way to configure iTunes so that it would automatically eject burned CDs on completion. I'm using iTunes 8.1.1. and that option appears to have vanished. Or maybe it has been moved to someplace less intuitive. Got any suggestions?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

I can manually eject it

Using the Eject key? If it's in iTunes you should be using the tiny eject symbol next to the CD in the list to the left. That shouldn't leave a blank on the desktop. And you're using iTunes to burn these CDs? If not, then what?

No, I eject it with the tiny eject button in iTunes. But I want it to eject the burned CDs as soon as they are finished burning without me having to change to the iTunes application and do it.

Oh right. I never used that, didn't even know it was a option. It's not an option in iTunes 7.

I do not see an option to eject disc after a burn, only after import...

I hope there's an answer. I like how iDVD automatically ejects DVDs when they're finished burning. I seem to recall that iTunes USED to do the same thing.
