The way Apple CD Audio Player *used* to work (before 9.2.2), it was an automatic thing. If you inserted an audio CD, the program would launch. Inserting the CD now gives me an error message, just as it did when I first tried a couple days ago. I agree it's probably a system problem now, but I don't know where to go for help. The Apple website is a wealth of information -- if only I knew where to look! Thanks for all your input. Debbi
