Apple 6400 appendix Playing audio CDs, Working with Photo CDs

Playing audio CDs

With your CD-ROM drive and your computer’s built-in speaker, you can play audio compact discs (CDs) or audio tracks on CD-ROM discs. You can also attach headphones or speakers to the computer to listen to audio tracks. See Chapter 3 for information on connecting sound equipment to your computer.

To start, stop, and otherwise control audio discs, use the AppleCD Audio Player program, available in the Apple (K) menu. Your audio CD software will only play tracks that contain audio information. With the AppleCD Audio Player program, you can listen to an audio CD or audio tracks while doing other work on your computer. For more information about playing audio CDs, see the “CD-ROM Discs” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

Working with Photo CDs

You can use your CD-ROM drive to open Photo CD images stored on Photo CDs. A Photo CD image is a digitized version of a standard photograph that you can open and view on your computer screen.
