Looking for compatible external CD/DVD drive for 16" MacBook Pro

Wirecutter's choice appears to be incompatible by virtue of a review.

Have CD's I want to load into Music, but need a drive.

Any recommendations?

My older Apple USB Super Drive works fine, all I needed to do was use the USB A to USB C converter (Apple has one or look online), and I was good to go. I'm running it on a M1 MacBook Pro.

I am guessing other models will also work, take a look online or visit OWC for what they have.
