For some reason when I finish downloading a file (using, say,
bearshare) iTunes opens up.

Anyone know how to prevent this behavior?

Thanks,
Jason

it might have something to do with preferences in itunes, possibly in
the advance section under general, disable "Keep itunes music library
organized". itunes may want to play auto. because of that option.

The most likely issue is that you're using Safari and you have the
option to automatically open "safe" files after download checked. It's
on the General page of the Safari preferences window.

I have no idea what it means, but it's such a cool "word" (by which I mean
pronouncable sequence of letters) regardless.

Nonsense. iTunes cannot be configured to launch itself.

What happens with files upon download is decided upon by the app that
does the downloading, hopefully based on systemwide settings
(LaunchServices). AFAIK, the only way to configure that systemwide
setting under Mac OS X is through the third-pary utility MisFox (post
processing settings). Additionally, individual apps may offer their own
settings.

The fix turned out to be in the Bearshare settings under "iTunes." I
unchecked "Add downloaded songs to iTunes libarary" and it's fixed.
