Exactly as described. It’s an external disc drive with extra ports on it to make up for the port it used up. On Linux this will read music discs but you won’t get any metadata and switching between songs will be slow if you don’t use appropriate software. On Ubuntu, Sound Juicer does the job.
I’m not sufficiently tech-savvy to be able to install a new CD/DVD reader/writer into my desktop (the old one died!), so opted for an external drive instead. My only slight criticism is that the supplied USB lead is a bit short for my particular set-up – but that’s nit-picking!
Highly recommended!
I have not used it much yet.
But it has worked just as intended.
Comment though: the cable with both USB C & A, to plug to the computer, is a bit on the short side
Only have it a week. No problem – just plugged in and it worked. If I thought it would continue to work as it is now I would give it 5 stars. I am wary due to all these makes getting some bad reviews. I have no reason to think otherwise.
Great little CD player that does everything I need it for. Only downside was that the connection cord is much too short, therefore player has to be placed very near my laptop which isn’t always convenient.
