Hello - Has anyone else been told that we no longer have the functionality to be able to transfer music from CDs to iTunes or Apple Music to sync with iPhone and iPad? This is disturbing to me. I don’t want to buy this music again (if it’s even available).
Thank you.
iPhone 17 Pro
I haven’t been told any such thing.
You do need to have an external optical drive, as Macs haven’t come with built-in optical drives for something like 10+ years. Apple discontinued their external optical drive (the USB SuperDrive). But third-party drives that will work are available from various suppliers.
Unable to load music from CDs to iTunes or Apple Music any longer.
