It runs through my songs very quickly as if it is scanning all of the files on my ipod. I always click cancel and it stops. I'm thinking it is some sort of sync with windows media player (which I don't want). Anyone every seen this/know what it is?

i'm sorry yazzie, you're wrong. The autoplay has NOTHING to do with itunes. This is becasue the ipod in actually works as an external disk. all itunes does is take your music, put it on the ipod and add it to the database on the ipod so it knows where the music is stored. when you connect your ipod to your computer, all Windows XP sees is an external disk drive being connected, so it scans it the same way it scans a CD-ROM. it does this so it can identify what kind of files are on the drive then gives you a box of options it thinks you might want to do...like, if you had a CD-R of all photos, then it would give you options for viewing photos, if you put in a CD-R of videos, it'd suggest something for playing videos. when you plug your ipod up..XP sees a bunch of mp3's and assumes you want to listen to them., so it suggests Windows MEdia Player or whatever...it actually has NOTHING to do with syncing..it's just Windows *trying* to help you out. it doesn't write anything to the drive, it just scans the contents. you can cancel it if you want, it won't affect the ipod, or itunes.
