Back to CDs please.

You can always copy it to whatever you want, but EVERY computer these days has a USB port.

Can Apple iPads read USB thumb drives with FAT32 filesystem?  Do new iPads even have USB port anymore? I recall that my GF was having hard time doing that, but that was few years ago.

But you right, most larger computers do have USB ports.  I also have a CD/DVD drive which connects to a . . . USB port. So I can read my disks through a USB port.

The newer ones use USB C for charging, having switched from Apple's Lightning connector a generation or so ago.  But I haven't tried putting a USB drive (with USB-A to C adapter) in one.
