Using CDs

When you insert an audio CD or a data CD that contains music files (also known as a media CD) into your CD-ROM drive, Windows Media Player can play the CD automatically, unless the Player is already in use or the Player is not the default player for CDs.

In addition to playing CDs, you can use the Player to copy (rip) and create (burn) CDs.

After you copy your audio CDs to your computer, you can easily play all the music that you have collected in Media Library without having to change the CD as you would with a standard CD player. 

You can create CDs by using any combination of tracks on your computer or in your Media Library. The CDs that you can create are only limited by your imagination and the space on the CD.
