My new Mac has no disc drive!

Anyone know what one is supposed to do about uploading music from CD's, or watching films from DVD's, or downloading to CD or DVD, when there is no disc drive of any kind that I can find on the new iMac which has just been delivered for my wife?

iMac, iOS 6.0.1

The iMac won't have a built-in drive, but you can buy other drives and it doesn't have to be from Apple. I've had one for several years and use it a lot more than the built in drive. Some day, there won't be any more DVDs, but I don't think that'll happen in our lifetime - it will at some point, but there are still places selling CDs and DVDs, so it'll be a while before they go away.
