symphonic Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 When I place a store-bought audio CD (.cda tracks) into my DVD+/-RW drive and double-click to play it, Imgburn launches instead. How can I correct this? I want Media Player Classic Home Cinema to either autoplay the disk or at least nothing to happen at all. I've gone through Windows 7's and all related programs' options to associate .cda tracks with MPC-HC. I can't understand why Imgburn is interfering like this. Note that I'm not saying Imgburn launches upon closing the disk tray, but that it launches upon double-clicking to listen to the CD. Thanks for any help.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 This is not ImgBurn's doing, it's Windows. All you (probably) need to do is configure the AutoPlay settings in Control Panel. .cda is a fake file type. There are no real files on a CD Audio (CDDA) disc.

symphonic Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 I've gone over all the autoplay settings in Windows (Default Programs, Program Associations, Autoplay, Program Access) and Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player. I even manually changed all the audio formats to be associated with MPCHC. Nothing corrected the matter. It's hard to explain why Imgburn is involving itself like this. Thanks anyways.

ianymaty Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Open Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Default Programs > Set Associations. Select the file type in the list and click Change Program. If that don't resolve the problem than it's something deeper in Windows mess. To me, when I double click on .wmv file it launches Pinnacle Studio 15 install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 So you're saying that when you insert a CD Audio discs, nothing actually happens automatically - right? Typically, Windows would pop up the 'AutoPlay' box like this... When you then right click the drive in Explorer, what do you see on the context menu? Try and capture a screenshot of it. Like I said before (in a round about way), this is nothing to do with your typical music file extensions. You're barking up the wrong tree with that. For Audio CD's, the registry key to look at is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AudioCD ImgBurn will add itself as an option (open.ImgBurn) under the 'shell' subkey (as per the settings within ImgBurn itself) but doing that doesn't make it the default option, just *an* option. The default option is controlled by the '(default)' value in the 'shell' key. So if it was set to 'open.ImgBurn', *then* it would be the default option. You can set that '(default)' value to any of the options listed under the 'shell' key. I guess it would make sense to set it to 'play'. That should invoke Windows Media Player - or at least it does on my machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
