Users of the Racine Public Library's free downloadable audiobook collection have often found it frustrating to obtain downloads compatible with iPods. Users now have reason to celebrate! The Racine Public Library is a member of the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium (WPLC), and has received news that OverDrive, the library's downloadable service, has updated the WPLC Digital Download Center, http://dbooks.wplc.info , to enable 1,000 of the audiobook titles for download to Apple devices, including the iPod. Information about this new feature has been added to the home page and help section of the site.
The 1,000 titles are WMA titles and are among 3,776 offered in the WPLC collection. It is important to note that not all 3,776 WMA titles are compatible with Apple devices. Individual publishers decide which of their titles may be offered with this feature. The service also offers 189 MP3 titles, a different format that should not be confused with WMA titles.
From the WPLC Digital Download Center, patrons may find the 1,000 iPod compatible titles in the "Take a Look" search field on the left navigation pane. The new link is entitled, "iPod-compatible Audiobooks." Detailed information and FAQ's are available in the site's help section under "OverDrive WMA Audiobook/The Basics."
For information on how to download audiobooks, visit the Racine Public Library's website at www.racinelibrary.info , and access the link, "eBooks & eAudio." Assistance is also available by contacting the Racine Public Library's Reference Desk at 262-636-9217.
