can it handle storage and downloading music, any problem with writing cd's

My son has not tried either. I can't see a problem with the music as it downloads and plays games just fine.

No problem with either. It comes with roxio but you can use other tools if you like.

I purchased mine 2-3 months ago and it worked fine for exactly the purpose you mention (playing MP3 disks overnight), however the CD drive failed a couple weeks ago.

Yes, it can read and write both DVD and CD. It is a very good drive for a desktop PC.

The CD drive is not able to write. I suppose if you had a CD:RW drive on your computer you could rig something up to write to a disc after routing it there, but that would take a bit of legwork. Aux cables work just fine though

Yes, you'd have no problem with it at all as long as the drive doesn't get filled up. If you play a lot of games that download large amounts of data or you mostly purchase download only games then no. The ONLY limitation for it is the drive space. Hope that helps! We've had it for quite some time and haven't come close to filling the drive, however, we use mostly disk games and not downloads.

no you cant, but it has plenty to use for cd's and way more if you do dvd's.

This laptop does have a cd/dvd burner. So if you have the right software you can burn from whatever media you have your music on.

Yes. It has SuperMulti DVD drive, which read and write CDs and DVDs in multiple formats

anyone have any thoughts? my primary use would be music, both (admittedly out of date) CDs and mp3

Should. The limit is in the software for the Mac. Backup will need backup software that can see a network drive. Music will need the DLNA standard players. If you are just storing stuff then it should be fine. Having said that, I use it with a bunch of PC types and it works pretty well. BTW none of these network drives are very fast. Nothing like a fast USB drive.

You can use it for anything on a cd. It works just like an internal cd drive.

Not sure about you references here but I used the device for coping music cd to my laptop and directly into iTunes. It worked fine for those projects.

Don't know. I have no reason to re--write since I keep them ... and just buy more CDs as I need to. It's my main back up system.

I've had no problems using it. Didn't need the disc that came with it. Windows and linux see it as a burner and work fine for cd's, dvd's, and BD.

YES - I use the drive for read/rewrite/write for Blu-ray & DVD. I have not had any need to utalize a CD so that is a ?

if the music cd is readen by the unit, you can copy music from the cd to the usb (Only in that way) but it is very basic you can`t choose bit/rate or format... I prefer Itunes or any other ripping program in a computer...
