Playing audio CDs

Your computer comes equipped to play back audio CDs using Windows Media Player. In addition, you can use WinDVD or a third party audio player to play back audio CDs. Audio CDs will autoplay when inserted. If you have Windows XP, the menu will display that enables you to select from the players that are installed in your computer system. CDs that have both audio and data will start any autoplay programs in the Data section instead of displaying a menu. To play the audio on CDs with both audio and programs, cancel the data portion, right-click on the drive letter in My Computer, and select Play.

To play audio CDs on your drive, you must enable digital playback for both the drive and the player application.

Configuring the drive for digital playback

If you are using Windows XP, your drive will be automatically configured for digital playback.

If you are using Windows 2000, you will need to configure your computer system to use digital playback. For step-by-step instructions on how to enable digital extraction, refer to “Enabling digital audio extraction for Windows 2000” on page C-2.

Configuring the playback application for digital playback

Your CD playback application must also be configured for digital playback for CD audio to be heard on your computer system. If you want to use Windows Media Player as your playback application, follow the instructions in “Enabling digital audio extraction for Windows 2000” on page C-2to enable this feature in Windows Media Player. If you have a third-party CD player application, refer to the instructions in the documentation for that application.
