I mostly use streaming services nowadays to get music flowing in my home office, but I do have some CDs that I cannot get content from any streaming service provider. My old portable Panasonic CD player is dying and having hard time to read a disk. I thought about buying a new portable CD player, but heck there is no good one to buy. I also thought about buying a proper CD player, but the price tag pushed me back and I don’t really have desktop space for that.
Instead, I ended up with a portable DVD drive, which is both slim and doing the job well. I plug it into a USB switch (I’m using this one, but anyone should just be fine), so that I can easily switch the drive to connect to my work laptop or home PC. Sweet!
As a bonus, this is a DVD-RW drive, which means I can burn disk if I really need to.
Here is how it looks:
