Mate can play your CDs on your computer. You can setup you CD preferences in the CD Properties capplet in the Advanced section of the Mate Control Center. Once open, you'll see the window is broken into two sections: Data CDs and Audio CDs. Los CD de datos son discos que contienen información que el sistema puede ejecutar. A menudo se tratan de discos con programas o aquellos en los que ha grabado fotografías familiares. The first option is Automatically mount CD when inserted. By enabling this option, you can have your CD auto-detected when you insert it. Los sistemas Linux y UNIX emplean el término «montar» para indicar el reconocimiento de un dispositivo. Al «montar» un CD-ROM, el sistema lo reconoce y permite interactuar con ese dispositivo. Al «desmontarlo», el sistema lo ignora y no se puede hacer casi nada con ese dispositivo. The second option, Automatically start auto-run program on newly mounted CD allows the system to run the program on the CD automatically when the disk is first mounted. The last option, Open file manager window for newly mounted CD tells the system to open your file manager (Caja by default) when the CD is mounted. This is useful if you have a CD of images from your family reunion you wish to browse. It will open up in Caja which will let you view the thumbnails. The Audio CDs section has only one option. This allows the system to load up a CD player when you insert the CD. You simply click the checkbox and enter the command you wish to run in the input dialog. Audio CDs don't need to be mounted to play the CD.
