iTunes launches when inserting a CD

When I insert a CD into my external drive, iTunes launches automatically and I cannot seem to stop it.

I am running OS 10.12 and iTunes 12.5. In iTunes, there is no option to 'ignore' "When an audio CD is inserted". In my System Preferences under CD & DVD, I have all the options set to ignore. Everytime I insert a radio CD, iTunes launches. I want to stop this default action. I also removed the iTuneshelper from my startup.

Any suggestions?

I decided to reboot since it was the only thing I didn't try and it seems to fix my issues.

Hi,

If your Mac has a built-in optical drive, or if you connect an external optical drive (for example, an Apple USB SuperDrive), you can choose what your Mac does when you insert certain types of CDs and DVDs. For example, you can open photo editing software whenever you insert a picture CD, or run an AppleScript script that backs up your important documents whenever you insert a blank DVD.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click CDs & DVDs. (If you don’t have an optical drive built into or attached to your Mac, CDs & DVDs preferences aren’t available.)
Use the pop-up menus to choose an action for the type of inserted disc.
