talmadge Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I have a mac computer running the latest software. Just downloaded XLD to rip my CD's to flac. I use Plex to play my high res flac files. The question is how do I stop everything going to iTunes? Is there a way I can turn it off as the default player? I went through all the settings and I don't see how to accomplish this. Link to comment
goldsdad Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 iTunes won't be default player for FLAC; it cannot play FLAC. Exactly what is happening that you wish to prevent? Link to comment
kennyb123 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Every time I load a CD into my Mac, iTunes launches and reads the contents. I've not figured out how to disable this as it's dbPoweramp I want to rip with instead. So maybe the OP was referring to this same issue.

wgscott Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 That is gone in 10.10 and 10.11. If you never use iTunes, sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes Link to comment
goldsdad Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 That is gone in 10.10 and 10.11. As far as I know, the presence of a 'CDs & DVDs' preferences panel in recent versions of OS X depends on the Mac having a built-in optical drive, so wwaldman's advice might be applicable to the OP.

You are absolutely right. Sorry about that. I checked on an older iMac I have at work, and sure 'nuff: Link to comment
