Handling CDs

To avoid damaging a CD, follow these guidelines:

■Return the CD to the case when you are finished using it.

■Handle the disc by its outside edges or center hole only.

■Do not touch the unlabeled side of a CD or place the unlabeled side down on your desk. Doing so could scratch the surface of the CD.

■Store CDs at room temperature.

Playing Music CDs

The PC includes MusicMatch Jukebox (select models) or Windows Media Player. This software lets you play music CDs.

Using MusicMatch Jukebox

This software lets you play music CDs, record digital music files, create music CDs on your CD-RW drive, organize your digital music into libraries, and listen to music over the Internet.

If you are connected to the Internet when playing a music CD, MusicMatch Jukebox searches a CD database on the Internet, displays the song titles in the Playlist area, and then begins playing the CD. The next time you play this CD, you don’t need to be connected to the Internet — MusicMatch Jukebox keeps the song titles.
