Playing a CD and Connecting Headphones
If you’d like to listen to music with your Mac mini, insert a music CD in your optical
drive. iTunes, an easy-to-use music player, opens automatically. You can connect
headphones with a mini-jack to the headphone port of your Mac mini to listen
privately.
You can also connect powered speakers to the headphone port to listen to music. If
you have an AirPort Extreme Card installed and an AirPort Express, you can wirelessly
stream music from your Mac mini to your home stereo system.

Keeping Your Software Up to Date
You can connect to the Internet and automatically download and install the latest free
software versions, drivers, and other enhancements from Apple.
When you are connected to the Internet, Software Update checks Apple’s servers to see
if any updates are available for your computer. You can set your Mac mini to check the
Apple server periodically and download and install updated software.
