CD Optical USB A or C drive and Stream1

[rleslie]

Hello,
I've just bought a Stream1 and I am away to start ripping all my CD's. From the Stream 1 instructions it looks like the CD optical drive must be USB A only.

Will a USB C, CD optical drive be work for ripping CD's?

Thanks Richard

Hi,

Yes, that should be fine.

Is it mandatory to connect CD optical drive which supports Linux?

Optical drives tend to be pretty universal in this regard - if it says it will work with MacOS, then that means it should work with Linux.
You would only encounter a potential issue if you found an optical drive that very explicitly states that it will ONLY work on Windows and requires very specific software to even operate/function. That is unlikely to work on our systems.
