    I received some mail about this which asked me to expand a little
    on my earlier posting.  Just to make sure that what I said was
    correct, I tried again and, in fact, I'm listening to a CD as I 
    write this (Borodin, if you're interested).
    All that I do is to put the CD into the HP-supplied 'caddy' and
    insert it into the drive.  After a few seconds it begins to play
    and you can listen to it using headphones plugged into the jack
    on the front of the drive.  There is a volume control but, of
    course, no way to select tracks.  

I seem to remember reading in a manual just yesterday that you could select
tracks by tapping the eject button lightly.  You'll have to try it for
yourself, though.  I haven't got a CD-ROM drive to verify it with.
