Macs No Longer Have USB Type C Connections
Although Mac laptops no longer have USB type C connections in some models, that does not mean that accessories and peripherals cannot be connected. Since 2013, Mac laptops have eliminated this support natively, however, this does not stop the use of these formats, if an external peripheral is used.
Benefits of Using CDs
The use of compact discs has been decreasing in recent years, but they can still be useful. CDs can be used to play Blu-Ray movies, digitize music, view photo and video albums, and even digitize them. Even with the current version of macOS Ventura, this is still possible as long as the external reader supports the different formats.
Viewing CDs on the Computer
The CDs that the computer reads are displayed in the Finder side menu, with the name that the disk has been saved under. Additionally, the desktop will show an icon of the CD that has been inserted.
