Music

Music belongs to the Mac like butter belongs to
popcorn. It goes beyond iTunes, in making
managing music with a Mac even easier. Get
access to your Music library, iPods, music CDs, to
Online Music Content and music videos.

Activate MediaCentral for Music CDs

By default, iTunes is the primary application for playing music
CDs in Mac OS X which will be started each time you insert a
CD in your optical drive. This setting can be changed via the
System Preferences.

To activate MediaCentral as the primary application for
music CDs:
‣ Open “ > System Preferences...“
‣ Open “CDs & DVDs“
‣ Choose MediaCentral for “When you insert a music CD“

Listen to Music CDs and iPods

Whenever you insert a music CD in your optical drive or attach
an iPod to your Mac, MediaCentral will display a new item in its
“Music“ category.

To listen to music CDs or iPods:

‣ Choose “Music“
‣ Choose the CD or iPod item
‣ Start playing by hitting the Right Arrow or “Return” key.

Listen to Your iTunes Music
