    Try ...

    Windows Media Player > Tools > Options > Devices (plug in your USB drive) > Refresh.

    Highlight the drive > Properties - Synchronise tab and untick 'Start synch when device connects'

    I rarely use WMP and am not a music buff so the problem does not arise for me :)

    However you may be able to 'reverse engineer' Configuring Auto Sync as detailed here
