If the wrong app opens when you insert a CD or DVD
If the wrong app opens when you insert a CD or DVD, you may need to change your settings in CDs & DVDs preferences or in the preferences of the app that’s opening. Also, the CD or DVD may not be the type you think it is.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click CDs & DVDs, then use the pop-up menus to choose what happens when you insert a disc. You can choose to open the Finder, open a different app, or perform some other action. (If you don’t have an optical drive built into or attached to your Mac, CDs & DVDs preferences aren’t available.)
Another app, such as iTunes, may be changing the action performed when you insert a disc. See the app’s help for more information.
The disc you’re inserting may not be the type of disc you thought it was. For example, an app may not consider a CD that contains MP3 files to be an audio CD if you created the disc in the Finder instead of in iTunes.
