Playing a CD

Important

Some music CDs have copy protection software. You may not be able to play these CDs on your computer.

A standard compact disc (CD) can hold an entire album of digital songs and can be played on a CD player or your computer’s DVD-RW drive.

Use a 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 your online User Guide.

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 your computer’s DVD-RW drive. For more information about playing DVDs, see your online User Guide.
