I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by mounts, I just assumed, and I know 
what they say about assuming:) that it meant putting it on the desktop.  

I just wasn't aware that it did that since I've never used the disc drive on my 
Mac and I've had it since last June.  I know, kind of dumb, but I was under the 
impression that anything you played, disc, or anything else, automatically went 
to I tunes so I didn't want anything going to I tunes that came from a disc.  

Now I know that it asks you about importing a disc, so that's cool.  also, I 
don't have that many discs left.

thanks again for trying to learn how I learn,  That means a lot to me.
