Playing audio CDs
Your computer comes equipped to play back audio CDs using Windows Media
Player. In addition, you can use WinDVD or a third party audio player to play
back Audio CDs. Audio CDs will autoplay when inserted. If you have Windows
XP, a menu will appear that allows you to choose from the players that are
installed in your system. CDs that have both audio and data will start any
autoplay programs in the Data section instead of putting up a menu. To play the
audio on CDs with both audio and programs, cancel the data portion, right click
on the drive letter in My Computer, and select Play.
To play audio CDs on your drive, you must enable digital playback for both the
drive and the player application.
Configuring the drive for digital playback
If you have Windows XP, your drive should be automatically configured for digital
playback.
If you have Windows 2000, you will need to configure your system to use digital
playback. Please refer to “Enabling digital audio extraction for Windows 2000” for
step-by-step instructions on how to enable digital extraction.
Configuring the playback application for digital playback
Your CD playback application must also be configured for digital playback for CD
audio to be heard on your system. If you want to use Windows Media Player as
your playback application, follow the instructions in “Enabling digital audio
extraction for Windows 2000”, to enable this feature in Windows Media Player. If
you have a third-party CD player application, refer to that application’s
documentation for details.
