Preventing iTunes from opening when CD inserted (system prefences not working;( )

The previous answers, stated to go to: "System Preferences" > "CDs & DVDs" and set ignore... I already had THAT setup (I even changed to XLD for the ripping), but alas, iTunes *STILL* opens up when a 2nd CD drive gets a CD inserted ;(

Slow iTunes start-up due to unwanted automatic CD access I am having an issue with slow start-up in iTunes. The issue appears to be that it is trying to read the CD/DVD that is in the drive when iTunes starts. The CD/DVD is invariably not a music CD so this is just a waste of time/effort. The same thing happens when I insert a new CD in the drive. iTunes automatically steps in, even though I don't want it to, and again this locks the iTunes UI while it is trying to access the CD. I know how to tell iTunes to read the CD went I actually want it to do so. This automatic accessing of the CD is not useful. Is there a way to stop iTunes from automatically trying to access the CD/DVD drive at start-up and/or on CD insert?

Burn iTunes to Disk Using an iMac(2017) running OS Ventura 13.3.1 a with iTunes 1.3.4.56. I have burned many CDs until last year, when I have been unable to burn any Playlists to CD. My vehicle is 2003 with CD/Cassette player, which works fine with many different CDs, books and otherwise. I have Googled this subject and found several "fixes" with which to try and burn CDs from my iTunes Library of 3,762 items. None of these work. Of all my tunes, 99% have the "checked box" and are in the Cloud. HELP!!! Please.
