Playing a CD
A standard Compact Disc (CD) holds an entire album of digital songs, and can be played on a CD
player or your computer’s CD drive.
Use the music program or Windows Media Player on your computer to:
• Play music CDs
• Create MP3 music files from your music CDs
• Edit music track information
• Use your music files to build a music library
For more information about playing CDs, see “Playing music and movies” on page 68.
Playing a DVD
A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has greater data capacity. Because
of this increased capacity, full-length movies, several albums of music, or several gigabytes of
data can fit on a single disc. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or a DVD drive-equipped
computer.
For more information about playing DVDs, see “Playing music and movies” on page 68.
Important
When you place a single-sided disc in the tray, make sure that the label side
is facing up. If the disc has two playable sides, place the disc so the name of the
side you want to play is facing up.
Important
Some music CDs have copy protection software. You may not be able to play these
CDs on your computer.
