I don’t use my computer to listen to Audio CD’s, but I rip a lot of CD’s on it. So every time I insert a CD to rip, GXine pops up and tries to CDDB it and starts playing it. It’s incredibly annoying. Normal UBuntu instructions say to go to the Removable Drives And Media control panel in the system section to disable / change this behavior. I remember having trouble finding how to do this in XUbuntu 6. Since I upgraded to 7.10, it is still hard to find. By hard to find I mean it is not there

Heres what you do. Go to Settings -> File Manager -> Advanced -> Configure Volume Management.
That gets you to the removable drives control panel. The you can configure auto-run altogether, or just disable the Audio CD functino under Multimedia.
