Running music on a computer

[Dabomb18359]

since it's like an mp3 player and I don't have to use CDs. But it still uses a bunch of power because of background things. Is there a way to just run windows media player or something like that without CDs but without constantly wasting juice?

I believe the practice is being called "underclocking". It involves reducing the frequency of the processor, board or other things to reduce heat or power consumption. Google away
