QuestionCan I choose the speed to burn a CD?
Asked 2 months ago by Amber.
- Answer Hi, Amber. Thanks for reaching out and sharing your question about the LG Blu-ray Disc (BP50NB40) model. We’re glad to help clarify this for you. Yes, you can select the burn speed with the BP50NB40 external writer, depending on your burning software. Most programs allow you to set the write speed before starting. We suggest using LG’s bundled software or compatible ones like Nero or Power2Go for speed selection. For optimal performance and to prevent errors, choose a moderate speed instead of the maximum, especially for audio CDs or important data. If you need more help, message us on social media @LGUSSupport, and we’ll gladly assist you. ^Juvy

QuestionThe cable that plugs into the player is Micro-B. If you find the cable too short you can go to amazon and order this extension. Hope this helps USB 2.0 Micro-B 5-Pin Extension Male/Female Cable
Asked 3 months ago by MSlotsGeekSquadontknow.
- Answer Hi there. Thank you for your inquiry about the LG BP50NB40. We understand your question about the cable and your suggestion for a longer one. The included cable for the BP50NB40 is a USB 2.0 cable with a Micro-B connector on the drive end. The use of a standard extension cable may work, but we cannot guarantee proper functionality. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-8x-external-usb-2-0-blu-ray-disc-double-layer-dvdrw-cd-rw-disc-rewriter-black/9243009.p?skuId=9243009 If you have any other questions, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport and our team will be more than happy to assist you.

QuestionWill this copy music to the computer along with title of songs and art work ?
Asked 6 months ago by Tttt.
- Answer Music will be copied, yes, and it will extract the metadata necessary for the software you use to rip that data, to retrieve song titles, and artwork. Those two elements are not stored on the cd but retrieved by such software. To be fair, most software can do that, if you have Windows, for example, the Windows Media Player will do it.

QuestionIf I use this device with a Mac, will it play Blu-Rays or only DVDs?
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hello there! Thank you for your question regarding the BP50NB40. This external Blu-ray drive is compatible with both Mac and Windows systems. However, to play Blu-rays on a Mac, additional third-party software may be required, as macOS doesn't have native support for Blu-ray playback. DVDs, on the other hand, can be played without any additional software. If you need recommendations for Blu-ray software or have further questions, feel free to send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport. We're here to assist! Thank you for your patience. —Avril

QuestionWill this unit work with an device running Android operating system like a Samsung tablet.
Asked 1 year ago by Richard.
- Answer Doesn't look like it. Even with a USB A to USB C thunderbolt, all it does is power the device, not read it. Even with larger tablets there's an operating system and codec issue due to copyrights.
