Question: can i just play a cd or does it go to iTunes
Document: Very disappointed! Slow, noisy, burns music with errors.Takes several minutes to add a cd to iTunes, Cannot play music discs burned with this drive on my cd player(skips or loops/sticks).I bought this because I bought a mini mac and my ASUS drive was not fully compatible, read only. The so called superdrive, which is by apple, does not do the job i.e. reads slow and burns with errors.
bought  at same time as i mac 2/3 months ago did not work replaced by apple store  cannot get it to play even a cd only one cd of elvis was recrded on i tunes apple tech at store feels software problem wants me to bring the whole I mac to the store when i go for my one to one the store is in a mall can some one help remotely clifford perera M.D
This is just what I needed to import my music cd's into my new MacBook. It is so easy to use-just plugged it in, popped in a cd, and it started importing into iTunes.
Apple USB Super drive for the Apple computer is basically to run cd/dvds. But actually after bying these I discovered that one really doesn't need these anymore. I guess it has been years since I used a CD, all mu music is on iTunes. But, just in case, I always buy these things.
Comes in a nice easy to use package. Plug the USB into the MacBook and it finds it readily. Truly a plug and play device. Uploaded CD's to ITunes easily with in minutes of taking it out of the package. Downloaded to IPad all worked well.
I recently bought a MacAir laptop and needed an external cd-dvd drive. The mac SD meets all my needs. It matches the finish of the MacAir and is very compact. You just plug it in no software downloads needed. It just works right out of the box. Put in a cd or dvd and they start up itunes or dvd player. Cd download speeds may be slower when using battery power but plenty fast  when laptop is plugged in to power.
I was hesitant to buy this after some negative reviews, but went ahead anyway & I'm glad. I need it for my new iMac 27 inch. This Superdrive works perfectly. The secret is to follow the rules. It is only for Macs that never had a Superdrive, so it is not for replacing your old one. The operating system & iTunes must be up to date before you plug it in. Recognize it was never designed to play Blue-Ray.
We have an older Mac Mini (5yrs) and the internal dvd/cd drive has gone bad- multiple times. We are not ready to replace the Mac Mini with a newer version (which also does not come with a dvd/cd drive as they are being phased out). We plugged in the USB super drive and it was literally plug and play--no software to be installed. (c: We're happy!
This is another great product from Apple. Perfect size and flawless performance, just what you would expect from Apple. Allows me to download old CD's into my iTunes library in seconds.
Does exactly what it claims to do and have had no problems using to burn CDs to iTunes. Would be nice if cord were longer and burn time was faster (usually takes 3-4 minutes per disc).
Answer: It performs the same drive functions as the built-in one did.  Apple primarily built it to accommodate the new iMac and the MacBook Air which are too thin to hold a built-in drive.thin to take a built-in drive.
