I have been ripping my entire CD collection into iTunes for several weeks, so 
I've been using it quite a bit (I teach a music appreciation class at 
university, so it's handy to have everything immediately available on my 
laptop).

Today, I woke my computer up, and after about a minute or two, it launched 
iTunes all by its lonesome. I quit it. Another minute or two goes by, and it 
launches iTunes again. I quit it. Again, it launches iTunes. This has 
happened about a dozen times now, and it's really starting to become 
obnoxious.

How do I make it stop?

First, take the cd out of the cd drive, then go to System Preferences
(Apple Menu) --> CDs & DVDs -->  When you insert a Music CD. Set to:
Ignore

There isn't a CD in the drive. Nothing is running other than Finder.

Unplug the firewire cable to your iPod?

My iTunes decided to crash out of the system and reinitialize itself from the 
ground up.

Seems like a funny way of solving problems, but maybe it's just me.

In Preferences > General, do you have "Connect to Internet when needed" 
checked? If you do uncheck it.
