CD and DAT Access

CD-ROM Drives

Your workstation probably came with a CD-ROM drive that you can use to install software or play audio CDs. In addition, you may connect multiple CD drives to your workstation.

Viewing contents of a non-audio CD

Double-click on the CD-ROM icon to launch a window displaying its contents.

Playing and capturing audio from CD

With an audio CD loaded in the drive, double-click on the CD-ROM icon.

CD Player launches, displaying the track number and length of each selection. You can play and capture audio with CD Player. See the CD Player page for more details.

DAT Drives

DAT (Digital Audio Tape) drives provide a way for you to create back-up tapes of your work and to transport large amounts of data from system to system. If you have a DAT drive attached to your system, you can copy data files to and from a DAT using the Removable Media Panel. This panel opens when you double-click the DAT drive icon on your desktop.
