External CD player

Hi, does anyone know if Apple sells something (external CD player) for me to upload all my CDS into Itunes? I looked but I don't know enough about it to know if it's the right product or not.

Use an Apple USB SuperDrive:

Use an Apple DVD SuperDrive and use iTunes to upload it ti. For a newer Mac, you may need one of these to connect it: USB C to USB Adapter.

Absolutely not necessary. Most drives are compatible with Macs as there are no drivers in a CD/DVD player/burner.


I do not personally recommend Amazon, but as you can see from the listings, there are many available, most compatible both with Windows and Mac:

And, if the OP is interested in a good quality product, I would never recommend any super slim slot loading drive - they are prone to failures. A tray loading drive won't be as slim and "cool" looking, but will be far more reliable.

I've had a Mercury Pro for many years. And it is just fine with a Mac.
