find out about the availability of Macintosh software for additional file
formats, contact the publisher of a particular disc.

Audio CDs

Your CD-ROM drive can play audio CDs and audio tracks on CD-ROM
discs using your computer’s built-in speaker. You can also attach
headphones or speakers to your computer for stereo sound. For further

Photo CDs

With your CD-ROM drive, you can use QuickTime to open digitized images
stored on 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

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
