Back when I got my first computer, a TI-99/4A, I thought it was pretty nifty
that I could use a normal, everyday tape recorder to record my files.

Now we're talking CD-ROMs.  Just for the record, is it possible to hook up a
'normal, everyday' CD player to a Mac and have it read a CD-ROM?  If so, what
additional hardware do I need for it to function as such?

And what can I build or buy in order to get my Mac to drive my CD-player in
some sort of interesting fashion?  I mean, to have it play 'disc jockey'?
