My workstation is one of those ultra thins, cpu, intergrated
video, all amd, and 2 hard drives.
Its a thin but sollid unit.
The newer systems are so thin you can only get one drive in the
cd slot anyway.
The bigger ones well you can but they are bulky.
Lifting my older unit with a cd drive in it and listening to the
sound even with the emulation, made me wander what crap I had
before and how crappy it was.
The sound as compaired to my sound I have now was really bad but
then I do have good sound now.
The laptop I had before was heavy, this monster doesn't have the
video card and features of a gaming system but its got just about
everything else.
The only difference is I have a second generation amd r class cpu
and not the 3rd gen but thats pritty much it.

Hi ☺
I didn’t know you could still do that.
Without a cd drive my laptop seems very thin and kind of
flimsy.
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?
