10.1. Playing Audio CDs

To play an audio CD, place it in your CD-ROM drive. The CD Player application should appear au-
tomatically and begin playing the first audio track. If the interface does not appear, click Applications
(the main menu on the panel) => Sound & Video => CD Player to launch the CD Player application.
Figure 10-1. CD Player Interface
The CD Player interface acts similar to a standard CD player, with play, pause, and stop functions.
There is even a sliding bar that allows you to adjust the volume. Press the Next track and Previous
Track buttons to skip forward or backward one track; you can also use the Track List drop down
menu to select a track from the available listing.
You can edit the track listings for your CDs by clicking the Open track editor button. You can also
change the way the application functions by clicking on the Open Preferences button. Here you can
set themes for the player as well as set the behavior of the CD-ROM drive when you open or quit the
CD Player application.
