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. See the illustrations in Chapter 3 for information on where to
connect 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. You can listen to an
audio CD or audio tracks in the background while you do 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.
