>&kubuntu; supports many types of media with a standard installation, including USB hard drives, USB flash drives, internal and external CDROMs, CDs, DVDs, and more. </para>
<para
>Most of the time, when attaching media such as a CD, DVD, external hard drive, USB flash drive, or compact flash drives, &kubuntu; automatically recognizes the media, displays a notification that it has recognized the media, and allows for an action to be selected depending on the type of media it is. For instance, inserting a CD or DVD would allow for it to be mounted, opened with <application
>K3b</application
> for burning if it is blank, opened with <application
>Amarok</application
> if it is an audio CD, or opened with <application
>Dragon Player</application
> if it is a DVD. To see the actions available, <mousebutton
>click</mousebutton
> the media icon to the left of the media that has been recognized. </para>
