This was not a busy day for reference questions however the library was full of people. One asked whether they could put library2go files into their ipod. Wccls website says:
Can I use Library2Go audiobooks with my Mac or iPod?
From the Library2Go website: "OverDrive Audio Book titles, provided by OverDrive, Inc., use DRM protection technology from Microsoft Corporation. Unfortunately the iPod and Mac do not currently support DRM-protected Windows Media Audio (WMA) files."
For more information, please visit the Library2Go help pages.
For information on other options for free downloadable audiobooks, please see the next question.
Which isn't helpful, but here's some ideas.
Once a computer has a DRM protected WMA file on it, it's conceivable to me that that it can import it into a shareware or freeware program that _can_ convert it to a .MP3, AIFF, WAV or AAC format, all of which all play on the ipods.
This would involve the patron being their own personal expert on their own personal computer... Here is a list of websites that either sell or share software that does this trick.
