Playing discs
Playing a CD
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 .
Playing a Blu-ray Disc
Blu-ray Disc is a high-capacity optical disc format that can store
much more data than a DVD. A dual-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold
50 GB of files, about 23 hours of standard-definition video, or
about nine hours of high-definition video. Blu-ray Discs can be
played on a Blu-ray-compatible player or a Blu-ray
drive-equipped computer. For more information about playing
Blu-ray Discs, see your online
User Guide .
Important
Some music CDs have copy protection software. You may not be able to
play these CDs on your computer.
