Hi Keith, I am not at my computer right now, so I can't be as specific as I would like. When you open iTunes, the hot key to get into preferences is control+comma. Either on the General tab or the advance tab you will find a combo box so you can choose what you what iTunes to do when you insert a CD. It could also be under the Device tab.
If you don't find it, or someone else chimes in with the exact answer, let me know and I'll double check when I fire up my computer next.
