I had problems with the B2 did not read CDs (wrote about it in a thread some time ago) so I used my external CD drive normally used with the laptop. It worked really well.
Well, being very vain, I bought a new extrenal CD drive that was BLACK, so it would fit better with the BLACK B2. It was an LG Slim External Base DVD-W Black and costed €40.
It sure looks good, but even better, it is SO fast. I should have had it when I ripped some 1000 CDs. It would have saved my much time.
Cheers.
