You are not trying hard enough.
If you can play it you can copy it.

i dont have an optical drive i wont even be able to play it unless i can find one for sale someplace but out dated tech like that its questionable i usually wouldn't even be buying the cd but they have their own label so the artist keeps most of the money i pay for it

buy the cd, then download a copy

the bait, it hurts

>but out dated tech like that its questionable
why do people think this? older tech is actually more likely to last a long time than buying brand new because the duds have already long since died, optical drives rarely fail and when they do they're trashy vomit box drives anyway
also stop being a fucking tech hipster, optical media and drives are still manufactured and won't be going anywhere for a long time, they've just been pushed into a more niche market

get a usb cd drive

this. they are $15 - $20 on amazon.
Do like with anime.
Buy a copy, don't unwrap, torrent the media.
An external drive isn't even that expensive.

Are you serious? go to the nearest hardware store and ask for a disc reader/writer, they sell DVD+CD readers/writers for like $20 and they will keep selling them for decades to come, BluRay drives are still too expensive, same with BD-ROMs. Come back later when you have the disc reader and ask in >>>/g/sqt how to rip your songs.

Make sure to get a usb 3 if you do, I bought a shitty one got $10 and it takes an hour to rip a cd. Might even be usb 1.
Get a rep brand, if it's from China it'll dogshit
