Download Audio Books!

DownloadAudioAbout.jpg

Live Oak Public Libraries customers in good standing can now download audio books from Georgia Download Destination for listening to on their WMA (Windows Media Audio)-compatible media players.

The service requires downloading OverDrive Media Console™ and the latest Windows Media Player software. This only has to be done the first time a customer begins using the service; after that the download is immediate.

Help is available at Georgia Download Destination. Please do not call the library for technical support.

All currently available titles are in WMA format—which does NOT include iPods. However, within a few months MP3 titles will be added which CAN be used with iPods. See Supported Device List or Help for iPod Users.

Currently the collection contains nearly 400 titles, including best-sellers, classics, popular fiction and nonfiction, and children’s and teen books.

Audio books will be downloaded from the Georgia Download Destination website directly to a customer’s home or office computer, 24 hours a day. Library computers cannot be used to download. To help customers with slower dial-up internet connections, books can be downloaded in sections so that listening can begin, even before the entire book has been received.

All titles may be transferred from a computer to a WMA-compatible portable media device. Some titles may also be burned to a CD-ROM.

Titles will “check out” for 3 days. After that time they will disappear from the computer. However, if transferred to a portable media player or CD, books will remain there until removed by the customer.

Titles can only be checked out by one person at a time, but titles already checked out can be placed on hold. The requestor will receive an email when the title becomes available, and have 48 hours to download it. If it is not downloaded within that time, the title will be released back to the collection, or the next person on the holds list.

The service is provided by Live Oak Public Libraries, as part of a consortium of Georgia library systems, via Overdrive, a company that specializes in downloadable audio for libraries.
