One of the reasons why I wanted an iPod was so I could listen to audiobooks. When I learned that the Free Library of Philadelphia had audiobooks available for download it seemed as though things were gonna work out for me. But alas, the program they use, OverDrive, is compatible with Windows Media Player, thus it’s incompatible with my iPod. Preliminary research shows that if I burn the books to disc I can then transfer them to the iPod, but every attempt I’ve made has been met by the error message that I can’t burn protected files. What the fuck? Even the library website says I can record to CD, so what the hell is going on? If anyone has any advice or ideas about how to fix this, do tell.

i got nothing. i had the same problem when i was using real player with my dell pod. i would buy music, and then couldn’t transfer it to cd or the dellpod because it was protected. i sent them many an angry email, pissed about buying something i couldn’t use, but never got anywhere with it.

There’s got to be some way around this! With hacks and plug-ins available for download these days, you can do about anything. I’ll try to figure it out…

Dear Girlfiend:
Here’s how to fix your problem,
1stSave the audio files from the library somewhere in your computer, MyDocuments is a good place.
2ndOpen up ITUNEs
3rdGo to FILE->Import Folder
4th browse to where you saved the files
5th Once you have them imported you can play them in ITUNES, but you want it saved in the ipod so you have to convert it, so
6th Select the files you want, right click and there should be an option to “Convert to ACC” or something like that.
It sounds complicated, but it’s really not.
If you still need help you can google it or ask me or M.V. which is an admirer of your blog btw.
Hope this helps
Jose
