The iBook has an internal CD-ROM drive with a sliding tray to hold the disc. The drive features a mechanism that supports 4x, 8x, 12x, and 24x data transfer rates and a data buffer that further enhances performance.
The CD-ROM drive supports the worldwide standards and specifications for CD-ROM and CD-digital audio discs described in the Sony/Philips Yellow Book and Red Book. The drive can read CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, CD-I, and PhotoCD discs as well as play standard audio discs.
Digital audio from the CD-ROM drive can be played through the sound outputs under the control of the Sound Manager.
