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.
They’re super useful, and it’s easy to get a US model in case you come across region locked blu-ray disks
It was pretty easy back in the day to disable region locks on drives, I imagine it’s still just as easy if they even still bother to lock them.
