Disable iTunes Autoplay After Importing a Song

Every time I drag and drop a song into iTunes to import it, it automatically plays the songs. Is there any way to disable this feature? All I want to do is import the song, not have it play after importing.

I know there were preferences to enable/disable this option is previous iTunes versions, but I have searched far and wide for a way to disable it and the few methods I found all seem to ENABLE it (which is seems to already be the default setting for me). Any way to turn this feature OFF?

Mac OS X (10.6.6)

If you're using a Mac, open Safari go to Preferences under the Safari menu. On the General tab, uncheck "Open safe files after downloading". Seems crazy but it works! This was also driving me crazy when I imported both music and videos.

At least with windows 7 you can go into the sound mixer and mute iTunes individually. That option is not available under Mac... As I'm finding out the hard way...
