How do you rip CDs on a new version mac mini?


Hi all,.
I am thinking of buying mac mini so I can rip my CD collection and play
it thru my audio gear.However,I just found out that late version of mac
mini does not have a optical drive.
So my question is: How do I rip CDs without optical drive?
Any help concerning this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Rod

Apple's move to cut the built in drive wasn't a smart one. I own the newest Mini and it's certainly less elegant to have to add the the external drive. For 70 bucks you can add the matching Apple drive or a generic one for 35 bucks. The people I spoke with at Apple agreed that cutting the drive was premature as nearly every customer complains about it.
Still, adding the drive was simple and inexpensive and it's a fantastic server. I have not tried other ripping software yet, but I will.

Be sure to add memory to the mini! You can max it out for around 45 bucks!
