How do I banish the “You have just inserted an Audio CD.” dialog forever?

Question

Sometimes when I insert an audio CD I get a dialog that says "You have just inserted an Audio CD. Choose what application to launch." It doesn't show up for every CD... probably something like once for every 5 CD insertions.

Every single time I select "Do Nothing" and ensure that the "Always perform this action" checkbox is checked. I assume the point of the checkbox is to let me make the decision once and for all, but this dialog continues to reappear periodically.

Prompting for action to perform upon inserting media is a behaviour of nautilus (the file browser program in GNOME Environment). To change this behaviour I would recommend the following steps:

1. Close all open File Browser windows
2. Open Places -> Home Folder. This will open the home folder in a new File Browser window.
3. Click Edit -> Preferences
4. Select the Media tab
5. For those media types where you don't want any prompt, select Do Nothing in the drop-down list.
6. Click Close

From next time, you should not get the messages while inserting media.
