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 CDs
and audio tracks. For information on connecting sound equipment to your
server, see Chapter 3 in the setup guide that came with your server.

You may need to set control panel options in order to play audio CD-ROM
discs. See “Choosing Sound Devices and Alert Sounds” in Chapter 1.

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. You can listen to an
audio CD or audio tracks in the background while you do other work on
your server. For more information about playing audio CDs, see the “CD-
ROM Discs” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
