macOS 13.2 Breaks Compatibility With Pioneer's CD/DVD Drives
The latest version of macOS Ventura breaks compatibility with Pioneer's lineup of USB-connected CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives for the Mac.

The root cause of the issue is unclear at this time, but Pioneer has acknowledged the matter on its website and says it is investigating.
"We have confirmed that our optical drives are not recognized by macOS Ventura 13.2 released by Apple on January 23, 2023," reads a notice on Pioneer's optical drive product listings. "We are currently investigating this symptom. We would like to ask our customers who are using our optical drives to refrain from updating to macOS Ventura 13.2."
We have reached out to Apple for comment and will update this story if we receive a response.

You can own content digitally. CDs & DVDs are deadSetting your dismissive snark aside, people do have legitimate reasons to use physical media.
For one, there are still movies and albums that never made it to streaming and are only available as DVDs or CDs. If you want to migrate them to formats you can play on your digital devices, you need to ingest them somehow. But maybe if your tastes are severely limited, you've never wanted to watch or listen to something you couldn't readily stream.
Also, you don't own much of anything when you "buy" streaming digital media. You are licensed to play it, but try transferring that to someone else. Try lending it out like you would a book. Try selling it on a secondary market when you're done with it, as you could with a record or blu-ray or a disc-based video game. And good luck to you if some copyright dispute somewhere pulls if offline.
