stop iTunes from auto-playing after import

I drag a movie onto the iTunes icon. iTunes imports the movie, and then begins playing it for me automatically.

How do I stop it from playing the movie automatically?


Solution 1:

according to this macworld article, do the following in Terminal, quit & relaunch iTunes

defaults write com.apple.iTunes play-songs-while-importing -bool FALSE

Solution 2:

Use cmd+O inside iTunes instead of drag and drop, at least that worked for me!
