Playing a CD
Use a music program or Windows Media Player on your notebook to:
■ Play music CDs
■ Create MP3 and WMA music files from your music CDs
■ Edit music track information
■ Use your music files to build a music library
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. You can play DVDs with a DVD program or Windows Media Player.
Creating CDs and DVDs
You can use a CD and DVD burning program, Windows XP,
Windows Media Player, or Windows Movie Maker to copy or create data
CDs and DVDs, create music CDs, create video DVDs, and more.
