You can still buy laptops with cd drives but I would go with the externals if you can.

Firstly there is extra thickness in laptops with drives and its heavier.

The drives are fine a bit faster but its not like you use cds daily mostly anyway.

The portable drive can be used on many devices.

Hi.

My computer doesn’t have a cd drive either. My mum’s laptop has one, but it’s about seven years old.

It’s true. This new win ten box came without one.  I did have to buy an external cd rom.

Yes, mine did, but this machine is nearly six years old now--my, how time does fly! I hear a lot of the newer ones now don't, though. I'd be lost without a CD Rom drive because my choir music from church still comes on CD's. I suppose, though, I could talk my choir director into getting Dropbox and we could share files that way if necessary, but for now, I can still use and rip the CD's he gives me on this machine using CDEX. that's good you can get external CDRom drives.

I use Cdex, but all I do is insert my CD, hit f9 and it starts ripping. I don't do anything else and I don't know how the program works aside from that. I find my ripped CD in the mp3 folder under users/music/mp3. Hope this helps. Oh, and this is under windows 10, but I used it like that under Windows 8 as well.

Hi, Arleen,

 

I use a program called Anyburn to burn CD's. For ripping I use windows media player. Hit your windows logo key and type "windows media player" without the quotes and hit enter. I tried CDex but found it kind of complicated.

Hi list: Arlene here. How does one rip and burn cds with windows ten? I was trying to rip a cd with my new win ten computer.  I have a external disk drive. How does one find windows Media player? Do you use it with win ten or can you use other players like Winamp or what my computer came with was groove Music. Can I rip or burn with any of these players like goldwave groove music and winamp?
