Hi, I have an Acer chromebook 14  CB3 431. I have many audio CD's which I would like to transfer onto my chromebook (so I can put them on a Sansa clip MP3 player.) I assume I need an external CD drive to do this? I am on a budget, is there a drive which will do the job? Are there likely to be copyright protection issues which will prevent me doing this as I woyld hate to buy a drive I have no other use for and find it doesn't do what I want. 
As you can probably tell I have absolutely no tech/IT knowledge so please be kind!

    Most any external USB optical drive should work for accessing data CDs or DVDs, but playing music CDs, video DVDs or ripping music CDs is not supported... Unless that has changed in the last year or so.
