You can't that I know of. Autoplay looks for autorun.inf which usually points to
an executable or bat file on the CD. Audio CDs are recognized as audio by the burn
format. Newer audio cd's are including video and the such, so you either love them
or hate them. What you are trying to do is actually an oxymoron. By changing one
the other is always affected.
