@andycarolan in this case, bring back the iPhone mini. Much easier! hahaha

@StanWonn Wait... was iTunes ever fully usable?

@andycarolan It did have its issues. But I liked being able to rip my CDs to MP3 format and then transferring them to my iPod. I guess you can kind of still do that now but it's less straightforward to me. I also miss the album cover art, which is at least partly gone now.

@StanWonn True! I don't actually have a cd drive on my Mac... I don't actually think I've even opened iTunes for a while. It's all Apple Music for me I'm afraid.
I still have an iPod shuffle here... don't use it though.

@andycarolan I own a couple of USB Superdrives since my Mac laptops don't have optical drives. It looks like those are probably discontinued since they are out of stock on the online Apple store and the retail locations. I think that you'd have to rip CDs within Music at this point, but I really haven't tried it in a few years TBH.

@StanWonn Shame if they are discontinued as I'm sure there's still a need for some people.
My current Mac is a Mini M2 Pro. No optical drive in there lol.

@andycarolan Since they're really pushing iCloud storage, I figure Apple thinks physical media are less used/necessary these days. But I'm still using my own external hard drive for my backups.

@StanWonn Yup, they sure do like iCloud integration. tbh, I do have an Apple One family subscription as the features are handy.
As for backups, I use a NAS which has a cloud backup to Backblaze, that's for my work stuff though.
