External CD drive for MacBook Pro M1 2021 (Model A2442)

I just upgraded to the new MacBook M1 2021 and I need to import tons of music from old CDs onto it. I already know from previous answers that the Apple SuperDrive isn't compatible with the new M1 2021. Can anyone point to a specific non-Apple brand that I should purchase? Please include the model number. Thanks!

I bought my MB AIR last January (M1), and it works just fine with my old SuperDrive. All I needed was a $5 USB C to USB A adapter.


And by 'old', I mean around 10 years old.
