f) Select ‘‘
A
dd. . . ’’
g) Move the highlight bar down to ‘‘[MCI] CD Audio.’’
h) Select ‘‘OK.’’
You will then be instructed to insert one of your Windows disks into your
floppy drive. After loading the proper device driver, Windows should send
you the message, ‘‘One CD-ROM drive detected. Installation complete.’’ If
this step fails, verify that the CD-ROM drive is operating properly.
Once the driver is successfully loaded, you can run Media Player in your
Accessories group. Select Media Player, then pull down the menu under the
D
EVICE heading and select ‘‘CD Audio.’’ You now can use Media Player’s
basic controls to play music CDs on your CD-ROM drive.
3) If you are a PC owner and want greater functionality than what Media Player
can provide, you can use a program such as Animotion’s MCS CDMaster
(which usually comes bundled with Future Domain SCSI interface boards),
CD Player (which usually comes bundled with Adaptec SCSI interface
boards), or CD Audio (which is part of the CorelSCSI software package).
These utilities allow you to control your CD-ROM drive much like a fully
featured audio CD player (e.g., you can program tracks, fast-forward, see
the length of each track in minutes and seconds, etc.).
4) Mac users can run a program such as CDT Remote (which typically is
included with FWB’s CD-ROM device driver) or Music Box (which typically
is included with Trantor’s CD-ROM device driver).
In order to hear the audio CD your drive is playing, you can plug a pair of stereo
headphones or self-powered speakers into the headphone jack on the drive’s front
panel. You also can connect your drive to an audio amplifier as shown on the next
page. The audio cables shown are available at most computer and audio supply stores.
