50. Don’t wanna Play, Do wanna Play?

You can put an audio CD in your CD-ROM drive without playing it on insertion, Pop the CD in your CD-ROM drive, close the door, and hold down the Shift key for as long as it normally takes for AutoPlay to kick in.

So now how do you play the CD when you're ready? You could press the eject button, and then slide the disc back in again to invoke your system's AutoPlay feature, but that's the labor-intensive way. Instead, open the My Computer window, right-click your CD-ROM drive (it should be labeled 'Audio CD'), and select Play.
