Bray and James,
I wish it was as easy as holding down "shift". That will keep the player from autoinstalling, but through some programming magic Sony has managed to hide the music on the cd unless you do install their special player. You can't navigate to it from Windows Explorer (even when viewing hidden files) nor does Winamp recognize it as a music cd. I have no doubt that someone far smarter than me will figure out how to defeat it, but unfortunately it will be more difficult than holding down the shift key.
