Playing discs Playing a CD Important Some music CDs have copy protection software. You may not be able to play these CDs on your computer. A standard compact disc (CD) can hold an entire album of digital songs and can be played on a CD player or your computer's CD drive. Use a music program or Windows Media Player on your computer to: • Play music CDs • Create MP3 music files from your music CDs • Edit music track information • Use your music files to build a music library For more information about playing CDs, see your online User Guide. Playing a DVD A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has greater data capacity. Because of this increased capacity, full-length movies, several albums of music, or several gigabytes of data can fit on a single disc. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or a DVD drive-equipped computer. For more information about playing DVDs, see your online User Guide. 26
