Load a CD of Pictures Into a Digital Picture Frame
If you store your photographs on CDs, you can view them by loading them on a digital picture frame. A digital picture frame allows you to load your photographs into the frame's memory so that you can transport it and use it to decorate a room in your home or your office. Most digital picture frames allow you to load pictures by connecting it to your computer using a USB cable or with a memory card.
