External USB dvd/cd for ripping

Hi I was wondering if its possible to hook up a USB dvd/cd drive to a sonictransporter for ripping ? Or do you need to have the version with drive included?

No that doesn’t work. You need to buy a unit with a CD drive.

Your other options include drag/drop your music from your computer after you’ve imported it. I purchased a Micro Jukebox from SGC. It works fine. I also dragged/dropped my imported cd’s from there to the i5
