Managing Your CD-ROMs
161
With magiCDisc, you can launch an associated program whenever
you insert a CD-ROM into the drive. You can search for a specific
CD-ROM by title, category or other key word, and look at only
CD-ROMs of a particular type, such as data, audio or photo. If a
CD-ROM includes programs to install on your hard disk, you can
start the installation program from magiCDisc. You can also use
magiCDisc to browse through and sample the multimedia files
(sound, animation and graphical images) on a CD-ROM.
To use magiCDisc, you must have the CD-ROM drive
installed in the SelectBay.
