CD/ DVD reader

[Chris Smith]

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive CD/ DVD reader that will work with a BB1 in order to rip some CD’s please.  I Have one that I se with my MacBook and iMac but the CD’s are not accepted into the CD/DVD drive, probably due to requiring more power.

Thanks in anticipation.

I bought an Asus External Slim DVD-RW drive -sometime ago which works fine on my BB1. It is still available on Amazon at £23.99

Hi Chris,

An alternative might be to do the ripping on your MacBook/iMac using your existing CD/DVD unit and then transfer the music files to the BB1 either using NAS or a USB stick.

The rippingwould probably be quicker this way and you wouldn't have to wait for the delivery!

Good luck in any case,

Peter.

Hi Chris,

I have an ASUS SDRW-08D2S-U DVD/CD Drive (same as Mal) which works OK with the BB1.

I do not use a Mac, but for a Windows machine, I recently purchased a LG GE24NU40 Super Multi External 24x DVD Rewriter from Amazon 60 USD. Blazing fast.

Thanks Mal.  I did consider this.  I wondered whether there may be some issues with file compatibility but you have reassured me.  I think I’d go down the usb stick route.  I’ll try this first.  Thanks.
