Playing CDs

SIREN will playback audio CDs from the computer's CD-ROM drive. If the computer is configured to play CDs automatically, SIREN initiates playback as soon as the CD is placed in the CD-ROM drive.

When playing a CD, SIREN's Transport Bar and Transport menu control playback.

To play a CD

If the computer is not configured to play CDs automatically, or to play a CD currently in the CD-ROM drive:

  1. Click on the Play/Rip CD tab in the Media Manager Panel.

  2. Select the drive containing the CD. If the desired drive is not listed, specify it from the drop-down list. SIREN displays the available tracks and attempts to retrieve and display CD information from local databases or from the CD itself.

If this information is not available, the songs are listed numerically. You may attempt to retrieve CD information from the Internet using CDDB.

  1. Click the Play button on the Transport Bar. SIREN creates a Current Playlist and plays the entire CD, starting with the first track. To begin playback with an alternate track, double-click the track or highlight it and click the Play button .
