Systems and methods for using media upon insertion into a data processing system

A method for operating a data processing system, said method comprising:

• inserting a blank writeable media into a drive system which is coupled to said data processing system (DPS);
• displaying automatically, in response to said inserting and on a display device coupled to said DPS, a prompt to a user with at least three selectable options which allow said user to:
• (1) eject said blank once writeable media from said drive system or (2) use said blank once writeable media in said drive system or (3) launch an audio CD creation program.

A method for operating a data processing system, said method comprising:

• inserting a blank writeable media into a drive system which is coupled to said data processing system (DPS);
• creating automatically, in response to said inserting, a data file on a storage device which is coupled to said DPS prior to writing data to said blank writeable media.

A machine readable medium which stores executable computer program instructions which when executed by a data processing system cause said data processing system to perform a method, said method comprising:

• inserting a writeable media into a drive system which is coupled to said data processing system;
• instructing said data processing system (DPS) to write or erase first data on said writeable media;
• instructing said DPS to eject said writeable media from said drive system, wherein upon said instructing said DPS to eject, said DPS writes or erases said first data on said writeable media.

A machine readable medium which stores executable computer program instructions which when executed on a data processing system cause said data processing system to perform a method, said method comprising:

• inserting a blank writeable media into a drive system which is coupled to said data processing system (DPS);
• displaying automatically, in response to said inserting and on a display device coupled to said DPS, a prompt to a user with at least three selectable options which allow said user to:
