Do you need to download a disk in order for it to work with programs or can you just plug it in and it will work?

I just plugged it in and my computer just recognized it. I have a mac, btw.

I have a PC and it worked with my Finale software once I switched the setting on the software to MIDI input.

In my experience no additional software is needed - just plug and play. I have plugged it in to my macbook and used it to control instruments in both Garage Band and Logic Pro X - they just recognize the device and ask if you want to use it as a controller.

No sure yet. Can you buy your programs on the internet and download? Otherwise you have to buy the $80, external hard drive. Good luck.

Good question. I would think not because it's connected to a computer with USB. You also need to insert a disc to start the program. Hope this help.

Yes, you will download the software from the net. This package basically just has a code that you enter and a set of instructions. I also used this to upgrade a netbook that did not have a dvd/cd-rom.

I really don't know. I have plugged it in but haven't used it yet. I don't know a lot about downloading

That is a disk that you install, I'm sure if you look you can find a product key to purchase for an immediate download. Hope this helps.

burn the downloaded program to a cd and save it somewhere in case you ever need to re-install. be sure and put the reg code/serial no with it.

Yes. I can't remember if we just plugged it in and it worked or if we downloaded it online, but it works. We bought this BECAUSE our daughter's laptop didn't have a dvd drive and it works great with it.

There is no drivers to download. It's just plug and play. It connects like a flash drive. It should show up in Windows explorer/library.

No disc required. Plug and play. Win 7 pro. your POS should find it. Just swipe it.

Your laptop has a hard drive of sorts so what you will do is transfer the program to that drive via the external CD/DVD device. Go for it.

All I know to say is try it. It works with USB to hook to my computer. And I can put a DVD or CD into the computer and play it. I don't have an external drive.

Now that is a good question but i would say no just because it says you need a "hard drive" to play that game/download that game

You do not need the software. But you do need the driver "only" during install select drive only. In your case have soneone copy the disc to a memory chip. etc.

It'l do whatever you want it to do. Just be sure to load all the apps you need, if you don't have the disc.

I am not quite sure how to answer this question, so I will answer it as best as I can as related to this device.This device is able to install software to your computer via CD/DVD. There isn't any software to download to operate this device as it is plug and play on my Windows 7 machine. This device should also let you burn to disc as long as you have the software to do so.

I have not personally yet installed anything with the portable DVD /CD player but u should be able. To use it just like a regular drive to install software. And programs as u would on a regular computer. It may or may or may not need first the CD it came with the dvd player.
