Comments on: More Audiobooks Available for iPods http://blog.kdl.org/?p=998 The blog of the Kent District Library, with 18 branch locations serving Kent County, Michigan Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:00:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Melissa http://blog.kdl.org/?p=998#comment-2548 Melissa Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:18:13 +0000 http://blog.kdl.org/?p=998#comment-2548 Thanks for your comments! Unfortunately, KDL does not have control over the availability of titles on Macs. It is a problem that needs to be resolved with Apple. From the OverDrive site:

Why can’t I use OverDrive WMA Audiobook titles on the Mac®?

OverDrive WMA Audiobook titles, provided by OverDrive, Inc., use DRM protection technology from Microsoft Corporation. The Mac operating system does not support DRM-protected WMA files.

OverDrive, along with hundreds of online digital media providers, is hopeful that Apple and Microsoft can reach an agreement that would enable support for Microsoft-based DRM-protected materials on the Mac.

I have been a Mac user since the first Apple computer. I have owned ipods since they first came out. When are they going to make content available for Ipods that sync to a Mac? How many people that own an ipod also own a Mac? Most of them.

I’ve been a loyal library member for 20 years and I am a mac user. I’m also an avid fan of going to pick up audio books and ripping them to my ipod. I think they’re a great resource but I am disappointed that I won’t be able to take advantage of this great program.
