Downloadable audio books to a Mac

I am so impressed. One of our Library patrons could not use the Library's downloadable audio books. So, she persevered. And here is how she did it.

Have your ipod or device plugged into your Mac and make certain the
"manually manage music" is checked.

Search catalog
Downloadable audio books

Choose: MP3 titles which are compatible with Macs. The WMA titles that are iPod compatible
will only work on PCs. You will see a link to the collection of MP3 audiobooks on the left side of the page.

Go through the steps. IT DOES NOT GO AUTOMATICALLY TO iTUNES.

Go to the finder icon in the upper right corner and put in the name of the book
It will come up in Overdrive Media Console
Right click on the book and hit transfer (or use transfer icon on top)
It should transfer automatically to your iPod. If not, manually change it.

Voila!
