The term media on computers refers to something other than text. Audio and video are examples of media. Audio is a catchall term for music and other sound files, such as books on CD. Video includes files that you can shoot with your digital camera as well as Hollywood blockbusters.

The delivery of music has come a long way from Edison's wax cylinder or even vinyl LPs. Nowadays, music is almost entirely digital (although vinyl has been making a comeback in some circles). The Groove Music app lets you play your music collection and makes it easy to explore new music. Use Windows Media Player to play audio CDs, to copy audio files to your computer, and to burn songs onto a CD.

The Movies & TV app is similar to the Groove Music app, but it's for video instead of music. You can use it to play your homemade videos.

In this chapter, you play a music CD, copy CDs to your computer for easier access, and burn a CD. You also explore the Groove Music and Movies & TV apps. Finally, you discover how to make a voice recording.

Repeat:Select this button to play all the tracks again after all have played. Select again to turn off the repeat function.

Stop:Select to stop playing.

Previous:Select this button to skip to the previous track. Select and hold to rewind to an earlier point in the track.

Play/Pause:Select the button with two vertical lines to pause play mid-track. Select the same button (now with a triangle pointing to the right) to resume playing from the point you paused.

Next:Select this button to skip to the next track. Select and hold to fast-forward through the track.

Mute/Unmute:Select this button to silence the player. Although the track continues to play, you won't hear it. When Mute is on, a red circle with a slash appears next to the speaker icon. Select the button again to hear the track.

To copy the CD tracks to your Music library, select Rip CD. This button is located on the toolbar along the top of the screen, as shown in Figure 12-3.Ripping a song on a CD takes about a minute.
