Mine works just like the one in my computer, just plug in USB and computer assigns it a drive and just play - record, burn, etc. My DVD RW had gone out on my computer, but now it's fixed so have two burners now. When portable player is plugged in and you want to burn something, like at itunes, you are prompted to select which burner. I was just stunned at how well it works, just like the one built into computer. But be careful with the software that comes with it, for it is just promotional - NOT needed to operate the unit. It will instruct you to put in disc to install. P.S. The portable floppy 3.5 works great as well if you have old stuff still stored on floppies.

I've never had a problem with the discs. I would check your software. I have always used ITunes to burn my music, much more reliable. Hope this helps you. Bob

I tried the USB with videos I downloaded from Youtube,I feel it would work fine with Itunes ones,and if not,they can always be converted to a different format.

For Mac users, if you are iTunes users, you have to convert your music files into MP3 & WMA format songs, and then put them into the drive. &#65288;it won't sync to your itunes&#65289;

Nope. It doesn't sync with iTunes. However, when you plug it into your PC or Mac it will show up as an external hard drive on your desktop. You can highlight music in your iTunes and then drag and drop them onto the X5. It doesn't take much time at all.

Hello Laurie: I have use cd's I burned as music cds, or burned as mp3 and those seem to work fine, but for some I burned as *data* cd's (like a mix of mp3 and itunes formats etc, those have been some trouble- but when you burn data cd from itunes it does let you know the cd will not work on all players, so I don't think this is a limitation of the Yamaha system.

Both my computers use the Windows 7 operating system and I've never had a problem using iTunes (it's on this laptop now). Have had experience transferring stuff from my computers to an Apple product with minimal pain, haha..

I bought the Superdrive because my Mac Mini does not come with a drive unit. I use mine regularly to play DVD's and CD's and they do not go to iTunes unless I take some action to make them do so.

It's supposed to but I've only burned a data and JPEG cd so far. I haven't tried a DVD or music yet.

It only works with an IDE drive, it is just a case, you have to supply the drive. I had an old drive from a laptop, that no longer worked and I took the drive out and bought this case. I then turned the old IDE drive into an external drive. Hope that helped you out. My old laptop was a gateway, not an apple product.

My son has one that he got used, and he says that yes, it does. It has a disc drive on the right hand side, and this computer came with disc burning preinstalled, and he says to use windows media player or a similar application to do the job.

Someone else will have to answer, but I can tell you it's a great drive and well worth what you pay for it. It's light and works perfectly. I'm not savvy about how to burn.

My daughter bought this to do things like that (and music cd's) it did not work properly with the MacBook Air. We returned it and bought the Apple external cd drive. No problem with that!

I don't have a mac computer so i dont know if it will. The files that it burns in is readable by itunes though.

YES... which is one of the features I was looking for when I got mine. I am able to add music to iTunes from CDs, and watch DVD movies using the drive.
