Questions & Answers

When I connect this to my vehicle, can I play music on it as if it was a cd player?

But if you get a CD player and an auxiliary cord, you can plug it into the stereo in your car. The software can also be used to rip CDs onto your computer, play them on your MP3 player, and then use that as your car's music system.

Is it possible to use this on an Acer Chromebook ?

It is a Microsoft based system, so I am not sure. You'll have to do some research if you want to know that Chromebook uses a cloud-based storage system.

What a difference a generation makes
5/5

It is becoming increasingly rare for computers to come with disk drives anymore because storage and internet have taken over. Computers today don't come with disk drives and are almost all connected via the internet. On occasion, I run old DVD and CD games that I have saved over the years. A drive is also needed if you intend to record and burn images or It was a lighting deal so I took a chance on it and I'm so glad I did. First of all, I was impressed by the lightness of the product. You get a nice sense of build quality when you use This product is made of metallic materials. A USB cable connects the device, and it uses a 3. 0 GHz processor. If you would like faster speeds, set it to 0. I had no problem finding it on my newly built computer when running Windows 10. My PC was already playing old games, and I was watching a DVD movie within a few seconds. The wire can then be tucked into a slot that neatly hides it away for future use and I simply unplug, plug it back in, and I'm good to go. The price is very reasonable, so I recommend it!.

There is almost no readable text in the instructions
5/5

To make a long story short I just plugged it in and it worked! Your computer already has these programs installed I'll spare you the details, but, it goes like this My laptop was manufactured by HP in 2016, late There is Windows 10 installed on it, as well as VLC Media and Windows Media Player. My reading glasses and magnifying glass were needed to read the instruction set! It has a tiny font! However, I just plugged it in without thinking about it. There is a CD in the drive. In an automated message, Windows asked, "What would you like to do?"? It was a CD I chose to play. The answer is yes. You should check. I placed a blank CD in the drive. In an automated message, Windows asked, "What would you like to do?"? Burn a CD seemed the most logical choice. As soon as I selected songs and hit "Start burn," Windows said "Your drive does not support gapless burning". You want to turn off gapless burning so that the disc can be burned? As I said "Yes", a smile appeared on my face. This machine processed the CD for 5 to 7 minutes and then popped it out. put the burned CD into the player and it played well. DJs must have their own ways of doing that. Then it's a yes! There is a DVD in there. The program didn't ask me anything, but I navigated to the CD burner drive and double clicked on it, and VLC Media player opened and started playing You're all set! My DVD has not been burned yet. Although it is advertised as a Blu-ray player, this is not compatible A DVD is a Blu-ray disc.

The idea of separation while still being equal
5/5

Due to my disability, I needed a laptop that isn't too heavy for me to carry. I think it's a good idea to sell some parts as externals In addition, drivers needs not be loaded (plug-and-play Despite the fact that it is a great product, there are no cons to Thanks for your kind words.

This drives me crazy because the maximum writing speed is only 8x, even though it works great for me since I prefer slower speeds to get rid of In addition to being lightweight and highly portable, I also like that the USB cord is integrated into the device, so I don't have to search for the right cable when I wish The first time I tried to use it, however, my burning software would not recognize the device
5/5

Additionally, the directions mention formatting, but they remain I fixed the issue by installing software to read/play dvds (I like VLC) and thus, my burning software read the drive and burned DVDs without any errors. The directions could be more detailed in this case, which is why I gave it 4 stars for easy to use. Despite that, I am satisfied with the way it works and delivers what it promises.

I am very happy with it
5/5

While I'm loading a game disc or installing it, it will make noises, but when I start playing the game, the system stays Since I've used it for so long I have never had a problem In fact, I convinced my mom to get one together since her laptop is also lacking a disc drive. As well, she uses it to burn CDs and is equally pleased with its performance. An 11/10.

With an optical drive of this caliber, I decided to convert my CDs to MP3 through a more organized process for a winter project
5/5

In the past, I had a DVD/CD burner from 10+ years ago that worked nicely, but all of a sudden it refused to recognize certain CDs, especially the ones decided to get a new optical drive, since I suspected it was the old optical drive that was malfunctioning. The ink I use goes perfectly with my MacBook Pro 13" 2017 with a fresh copy of OS X. I can only say that it continues to work flawlessly and that every CD appears to be being detected. This device has a couple of minor flaws, and the cable from the drive to the USB hub is somewhat shorter than I expected. Having now ripped more than 50 CDs, everything seems to be going well. With the new drive, there is a lot less noise and a lot less weight. It is worth noting that the previous optical drive required an external power supply, while the new one does not. In the meantime, I am working on this review while using the drive. It is very difficult to find any complaints.
