To be honest. I think the less moving parts you have the better.

just load your samples from the harddrive. plenty of space there.

word.. My 2500 had it in there already. I dont use it alot, but it does come in handy since I have alot of old sample cd's and whatnot. Plus sometimes friends bring over cd's and dvd's w/ sounds on em and instead of popin it in the pc to copy and then drop to CF I just pop the disc in the drive and go. Lastly If u wanna drop a beat to a cd for someone w/o having to record the track into the pc on some rough version sh!t, it comes in handy there to.

If u dont care about ANY of that.. then u dont need it. simple.



EDIT(p.s the one I have to sell is not the one from my 2500, that I am keeping!)

Bought a (TEAC DW-224E) for a MPC 5000 and it will not show up in power up.
It's getting power because the door opens and it spins up when a CD is inserted.
MPC 2500 or 5000 wont recognize this CD drive. They probably want it that way.
(TEAC DW-224E) NOT COMPATIBLE for a MPC 2500/5000.
