You can override that automatic program opening when you insert a CD
by holding down the SHIFT key when inserting the CD (have to hold down
quite a while). You can shut it off in Device Manager (Winkey +
Pause/Break) by selecting...
CDROM
Drive
Properties
Settings
and untick "Auto Insert Notification"

I don't know either but suspect it has to do with the CD being made by
a CD recorder.

Then there is something wrong with the ripping. You certainly
shouldn't be able to audibly distinguish between ripped waves and
their parent CD.
It seems/sounds like things aren't reading the CDs table of contents
correctly (or are having difficulty in reading it). The confusing
thing is that you say the CD plays fine and the TOC needs to be read
to play. So why does it play OK but other things have trouble reading
it? Beats me.
