How do I copy music to my new Acer Aspire One laptop?

January 16th, 2009 by laptop reviews | No Comments | Filed in Laptop Reviews
Annie asked:

I bought a new laptop today. It is the super-small Acer Aspire One. I LOVE it, but the only problem is that I can’t figure out how to put music on it. I want to copy music from my CD’s but it does not have a CD drive and as well, I want to copy the music from my household PC to it.
I’m not very technological, so ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Excellent bang for you buck.
Cheep and large. That was our two requirements when we purchased this. It meets both, and we’ve encountered no problems so far with pages falling out, zippers getting stuck, etc. We are also anticipating a healthy use of the fact that you can remove and move pages. Quite satisfied!

4 Stars Huge capacity…
This item has the potential for holding a lot of cd’s or dvd’s. My concern is that the zipper and the material that the zipper holds together is rather flimsy and I wonder if this will withstand full capacity without ripping or tearing. It doesn’t seem like it was built to stand up to much wear and tear (even just basic everyday stuff). I don’t have enough cd’s or dvd’s at the moment to test out what full capacity would be like but wanted to make sure that I posted my concerns for other potential buyers. Price seems kind of high for the material that this is made of.

5 Stars The only way to store.
The case logic’s are the best. I like the nylon ones. I store dvd’s in them at home. I currently have about 10 of them filled. The pages are held in by 1.5 inch straps and I have never had one rip out. The side handles are firmly attached. Best way to store lots of disc in very little space.

5 Stars Functional, yet melancholy
I rated this item a 5, which Amazon translates as “loved it”. But can one really be said to love a CD binder? This item is squarely in the realm of the functional: its rating comes not from being loved but by performing the task as advertised.

The last several (and growing) albums I’ve bought have been MP3 downloads (The Budos Band, Power of Soul, etc.) An MP3 download comes with no case, no insert, and a severely downsized piece of “cover art” data. There’s no physical storage needed,

other than the hard drive in your computer. And 1TB drives will be down into the “impulse purchase” range next year (2009).

We plan on consolidating several pieces of “home theater” equipment next year, by putting together an HTPC (home theater PC). It will, of course, act as a digital jukebox for the entire house, storing our combined music collection as magnetic fields instead of atoms.

This means, of course, “ripping” through our existing CDs. In 2009 it’s not “cool” to flash your music collection on countless shelves; you flash the newest iPod instead.

That’s the future, but traveling to the future always carries with it your accumulated past. Part of our accumulated past is the vast amount of music we’ve accumulated on plastic circles. (I also bring with me an LP collection; my wife is bemused.)

Once our music is firmly ensconced in the realm of the digital, the discs themselves become a curiosity, a mere token of ownership, and possibly a reminder of certain times in our journey through life, should any particular album hold that kind of emotional resonance based on when it was purchased or received.

Even as I take the discs and booklets out of jewel cases and slot them into the sleeves, I find myself wondering “why even keep the booklets?” In most cases they add nothing, some ancillary art of photos, perhaps, but nothing you’ll ever think about as you page through iTunes.

I suppose if you wish to devote time to keeping the discs in a pristine order as your disc collection changes, then perhaps the criticisms voiced by other reviews will apply to you. In my case, the ultimate fate of the CDs is to sit in the closet, taking reasonably little space, with some of the booklets kept for nostalgia.

So for my purpose, this product fits the bill. Perhaps it will for you as well.

5 Stars Great for storage
I have bought 3 of these so far over the past year. They work great. Very sturdy.

3 Stars Okay at first, but then it fizzled out…
This was my first wireless mouse, and I enjoyed the convenience of going wireless. I have had this mouse for about a year and a half, and after a while, it seemed that it would not respond. The pointer would move when I would move the mouse, but clicking would have no effect. I would have to click many times to wait for the mouse to respond. This has been happening more frequently within the last six months. I have changed the battery a couple of times, and even did so recently but that did not improve performance. Today I received the Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 ( D1T-00002 ) to replace it and put the wireless mouse away. I give it three stars because it is comfortable, compact, ergonomic, and was fun at first. But I had to move on. It was too frustrating.

5 Stars Great product
I purchased this for work, and have been extremely pleased with its performance. It is very responsive, and works on any surface. I liked it so much that I purchased a second one for home and even my three year old can use it with ease.

3 Stars workable
I dont know if only I encountered this.. But it has slow reception. Rest it is a good wireless option. Its just slow in catching up signal slow sometimes which is annoying at time for a person like me who would not like to have lots of patience with mouse.

5 Stars just what I needed!
this is so easy to use and control. the mouse sits on a shelf under the monitor, and there’s no disruption in functionality or accuracy.

5 Stars microsoft wireless mouse
I love this item. I used to have a mini mouse but it bit the dust. This mouse fits my hand so much better. It is sensitive to what I want it to do.
