Title. I’m still trying to get mine to work but in theory owning one of these will allow you to use a computer without a cd drive to play or rip cds, play dvds, and burn backup cds of your music.

Obviously it’s better to have a computer with a cd drive but this creates options if you don’t. Pairs nicely with secondhand cds and dvds from the op shop. Look for these usb drives on eBay and at Officeworks.

    I have an external usb optical, but think it’s only cd/dvd rw.

    Any thoughts or recommendations about bluray drives? Read and/or write? Region issues etc? Works with Linux and Windows? Preferably driver free?

      I have no idea, I’m on Windows and still struggling to get this cheap eBay model working with the computer. (Some driver issue, Code 43.) It’s not letting me watch my secondhand dvds of Buffy.

      But all of those are fantastic questions
