Dan toch… Audio downloaden op je iPod

OverDrive Breaks the iPod Barrier for Downloadable Audio

Norman Oder — Library Journal, 3/19/2008

• 3000 titles will be available
• No DRM means compatibility with iPods, iPhones
• Libraries will remind patrons of copyright

For years, librarians and patrons have complained that the most popular digital audio player, the iPod, was incompatible with the Windows Media Audio (WMA) files, the format for library downloadable audio. OverDrive now says it will offer at least 3000 titles—about 15 percent of its catalog—in MP3 format without digital rights management (DRM), which means compatibility with nearly every MP3 player and mobile phone, including iPods. OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks will go on sale in May at Borders.com and should be available to libraries by the end of June, to be followed with the release of OverDrive Media Console for the Mac.
