Hi Sharon,Here are some instructions I found on the net to stop I-Tunes automatically playing files you're trying to convert. Hope they make sense.
1 Open iTunes. 2Select "Preferences" from the "Edit" menu to open the iTunes Preferences dialog.
If you use an Apple computer, select "Preferences" from the "iTunes" menu. 3 Click the "Advanced" button to open the Advanced Preferences dialog. 4Click the "Importing" tab. Remove the check from the check box marked "Play songs
while importing or converting." 5Click "Ok" to apply your changes. iTunes will no longer play tracks automatically
while importing them. Hope this helps. Cheers, Sandra. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
