Abstract
An optical disc player for a computer is disclosed. The player is operable in a CD-ROM mode in which the player is inserted into a computer, as well as a stand-alone mode in which the player plays audio compact discs while removed from the computer. The player in one embodiment comprises a housing, an optical disc mechanism, a power source component, and one or more audio controls. The power source component provides power to the optical disc mechanism when the player is operating in the stand-alone mode. Each audio control corresponds to an audio function for when an audio compact disc is being played in the player.
