Mac Mini CD Solutions?
 

I have a new Mac Mini which no longer uses optical discs anymore, however I find myself still needing to burn DVD's and need to import some CD's into itunes.

What's the solution, or recommendation of external hardware?

You need to get a PC...

Sorry, silly answer - No call for that...

I'm a mac guy myself - I love them - But have no real suggestions as I dont know.

Sorry

Any $30 external dvd burner you can pick up a Target or Walmart should be plenty.

Get the cheapest thing you can get your hands on.

Ok (I love my PC) Just see that the superdrive says it needs Lion Server on a Mini to work, but posts around saying it's been patched and OS X Lion is fine for a superdrive but nothing official.

Just buy any cheap external drive

I've got a cheap I/O magic DVD burner and it works on my macbook and mac mini fine as well as windows or linux.

usb stick

Mac os/x will see cd/dvd readers and burners on your network. If you have one on another computer, try doing this. Otherwise, just grab an external drive and plug it into one of USB ports.
