The radio episodes on this disc are recorded as digital audio files commonly known as "MP3's" and require a computer or MP3 player (like your smartphone) to play them. The type of DVD referred to in this listing is a computer disc used to store and transport these files to you. We put many of our titles on DVD because they're able to store 7x the data as a CD and provide the most episodes for your dollar! Since this is a DVD, it will not play in a CD player. It requires a DVD-equipped computer or home DVD player capable of playing MP3s. The simplest way to see if your computer has a DVD drive, is to look for the DVD logo on the face of the drawer that slides out. If the DVD logo is not visible, you probably have a CD drive.
