A news group is similar to a chat room, but instead of

Transferring files from one computer to another is termed 
uploading (transferring data from your computer to a site on 
the Web), or downloading (transferring data from a site on the 
Web to your computer).

There are several ways to upload or download data. It can be 
as simple as attaching a file or document to an email, or you 
can use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) features of your Web 
browser to transfer large amounts of data. 

You can use your computer to record sounds using an 
external microphone. You can play .wav sound files or audio 
CDs using the built-in speakers, headphones, or external 
speakers.

Player program to control the CD.
