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

Simple...you buy an optical drive. They are cheap and readily available.

Use Apple's external drive.

Go to Newegg.com or any one of the various computer peripheral websites and get one. You'd be hard pressed to be able to detect any difference between them and the conv. wisdom is that that the external ones are better than the internal one.

Apple doesn't make the external drive -- some nameless employer of slave child labor in Shenzen does.

Us an external USB or Firewire Drive and free XLD software for ripping. Dont use iTunes for ripping. XLD links:
