Answer Hi Christine
Double click on My Computer. Right click your CD drive, and click on Properties. Go to the Auto Play tab and click Select and action to Perform. Here is where you Will pick the program to play your CD (the default for music is usually Media Player, but you can pick another if you want). Now click Apply, and OK. Restart your computer and the next time you insert a CD in the player, it should play automatically.
