c.d players have three major components. The laser reads the bumps on a c.d from the inner part to the outer part. The disk motor drive spins the disk between 200-500 r.p.m
While the c.d is spinning, the tracking motor moves back and forth across the c.d from the edge to the inside.

∙ 13y agoThere's three main parts to an optical disk drive:
- Motor
- Lens/Laser/Senor
- IC Board
The motor spins the actual disk, precisely regulating the speed at which the disk rotates.
The lens apparatus shines a laser at the surface of the spinning disk. The laser bounces off the reflective surface of the disk, and hits the sensor. The sensor reads the signal of the laser, and sends it to the IC Board.
The IC Board sends electronic signals to and from the computer and CD/DVD drive.
Thus, the information on a CD/DVD is read by the drive, and sent to the computer.

What format do you need to convert a file to if you want it to work on a CD player?
To play in most CD players, the CD itself must have a specific format. In general, you can't burn individual files onto a data CD and expect it to work, regardless of what format the files themselves are in. Most CD burning programs offer "audio CD" as an option and will do whatever conversion is required for you.Some CD players can play MP3 files from a data CD. This allows you to fit a lot more music onto the disc, but not all CD players can read data CDs. Check your instruction manual to be sure (also, those that can usually say "MP3" somewhere on the player itself).
