I'm using Chrome
The problem is that iTunes automatically plays every mp3 I download. I want to stop this.
I have tried disabling open safe files on safari but this did not work I'm using macOs Mojave 10.14
To clarify, I don't want iTunes to open an mp3 when it is downloaded into my computer. I want to open it at a later time.
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14
Where are they downloading to? iTunes shouldn't be playing files on download. It will import content downloaded into the Automatically add to iTunes folder, but again doesn't play it. Importing m3u playlist files on the hand can cause them to play.
Hmm, seems like this might an orphaned feature in Chrome. I see talk of changing auto-open options in settings, but I don't have any auto-open options.

That doesn't sound like normal behaviour. When you say download are you clicking a link that you hope will download, but could be treated as a media file to play, or do you right/option-click and choose an option from the context menu such as Save Link as...?

I download mp3 files from the internet e.g sites like soundcloud.com
after that file downloads iTunes automatically opens and plays that file. This annoys me I have been trying to stop this behaviour for a while now but I can't
Thanks, this solved it
You're welcome. 🙂
