Re: Playing audio media on my Macbook

Hi Andy let's start with the basics, in the Finder you should see any external media by default, thumb drives included. Unlike Windows, macOS automatically mounts these external disks and places them in the Finder. Once you have located this, press command-o to open the volume. Note I will not u
