Play CDs in Music on Mac
You can use Music to listen to the music on your CDs.
In the Music app
on your Mac, insert an audio CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive, or into an external drive that’s connected to your computer.
If the CD information isn’t displayed, select the CD below Devices in the sidebar.
If a dialogue appears (depending on what you chose to happen when you insert a CD), click Cancel.
Play a song from the CD by double-clicking it.
Tip: To have CDs always play immediately after you insert one, choose Music > Settings, click General, then click the “When a CD is inserted” pop-up menu and choose Play CD.
