[X Newbies] Itunes...

[Barry]

It's controllable. Check the Preferences in iTunes. It's on the General 
pane.
As for contacting CDDB, it does this to get artwork and other ID tag 
information. Stuff that is not usually available directly from the CD. 
Most people find this very useful as they don't have to look it up and 
enter all the info themselves. But to each his own...
