Anyone how how to download library audiobooks on a Nano?

I'm trying to download audiobooks from my library.  Does anyone know how to do this?

A very wise man (no, not SSR this time!) once said "if it isn't broke don't fix it"! (But then again I have put every new version on my N200)
If you're determined to give it a go then go to the Support, Downloads page, find the Nano Plus in the list, select your OS and then you'll be shown a list of firmware, drivers and applications for your player.
Click on the Show Details link next to the firmware and follow the instructions there.
As your firmware is such an early version you probably have a 0-40 volume scale. Be warned that this will change to 0-25 with the bottom 5 levels gone. Volume is then too loud in a quiet environment - search for posts from users complaining about this issue alone. And you won't be able to change back afterwards!

  • Can you download library audiobooks

    Is there a way to download library audiobooks into IPod nano?

    Well, I did some research and can answer my own question. My library uses Overdrive Media Console. Borrow your book from the library and download to your computer. What tripped me up here was the format   Audiobooks on my iPhone are MP3, but I kept getting an error message fir incompatibility when trying to transfer to nano. Use the WMA format. Once the audiobook downloads to your computer you will see a window with the book and transfer arrows on the tool bar. When you click on the arrows you will get another error msg saying transfer format is not compatible. Go to ITunes, Edit, Preferences,  change to "spoken word" .  Go back to Overdrive and with iPod connected, hit transfer arrows again and you should be able to transfer successfully. Also, after the transfer go back to ITunes and change back to original settings

    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable. !
    - Try another USB port
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

    If you want to use your iPod on Mac and Windows, it needs to be Restored on iTunes for Windows.
    Mac can read Windows formatted disks but Windows cannot read Mac formatted disks.

    Hi ayip,
    If you mean this:
    Audiobooks
    "The digital shelves of the iTunes Music Store are stocked with more than 12,000 audiobooks — including such exclusives as the entire Harry Potter series — so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod nano takes you. Browse audiobooks from their own menu on your iPod nano. Set a chapter marker when you stop “reading”, and pick up the audiobook right where you left off. Or change the read speed to suit you."
    Then here's the Tutorial on how to load audiobooks bought from the iTMS:

  • How to download library

    is it possible to download my music library onto my new MacBook Pro just by logging into my iTunes account?

    No, you can only download music one time from the iTunes Store. You'll have to transfer files from one comp to the other. Here's how:

  • How to download software update to my nano

    I have a new Ipod Nano 8GB. When I connected to Itunes it tells me that there is a new software update available for it (I think it was version 1.1). ITunes then tries to download it.
    The trouble is that I don't have broadband. My dial-up connection took over 3 hours to download ITunes when I first got the Ipod. I would be quite happy to let it take as long as it takes to download the software upgrade for the nano but I tried several times and the line kept dropping.
    Is it available anywhere as a stand-alone download that I can download from another machine I have access to (which cannot have itunes installed on it)?
    Thanks,
    Stewart

    Thanks for that, it's very useful. I'll stay put for now but my problem remains.
    The size of the download is about 58MB which is a little larger than Itunes was. As I said I would be happy to wait for the 3-4 hours for it to download but ITunes seems to stop trying, it just doesn't seem to be able to cope with dial-up.
    I don't think I have ever seen an Apple store so I guess there isn't one near me.

  • Getting audiobooks off the nano after i listened to them

    I am not sure how to get the audiobooks off my nano after I have listened to them. I need to make more room for different books..

    On preferences under iPod select "Only update selected songs" and then unselect the audiobook you don't want and update your iPod and it should be gone.

  • How do I view downloaded public library audiobooks in WMA form on my 4th generation ipod?

    I am able to transfer files using Overdrive.  Overdirve says there are ipod permissions for using these WMA files on the ipod.  The files transfer.  They function (when the ipod is docked to the computer and they play through the computer).  My problem is that I can't see the files on the ipod itself.  Therefore, I can't play them on the ipod when it is not docked to the computer.  I have looked through a lot of support areas and find nothing that addresses my problem.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.

    I tried the transfer process all over again to see if I can better answer your questions.  This time I used a "Welcome to Overdrive Media WMA" audiobook file.  It is not a protected file, so I thought that would eliminate one problem.  I have Overdrive Media Console software installed.  What the Overdrive Media Console does is directly transfer the files of the borrowed library audiobook into the ipod.  It does not use itunes at all.  In fact, if itunes is open, it asks that you close it.  If I use the Advance button during the transfer process, I can choose where in the ipod I want to place the file.  Once the file(s) is/are in the ipod, it asks you to disconnect the ipod and enjoy reading the book!  Now, when I try to find the files on the ipod, once it's disconnected, I cannot locate them.  When the ipod is connected to my computer, I can navigate through the folders on the ipod and locate the file(s).  I can even play the file(s) through my computer.  There are files I can see when viewing the ipod as a disk drive that are not available when navigating through the ipod when it is disconnectied.  For example, there is a folder called "Recordings" that I can see through Windows Explorer on the computers, but it is nowhere to be found when scrolling through the ipod when it is working independently.  Conversely, there is an "Audiobook" folder on the ipod that does not show when I view it as a disk drive on the computer.  Why is that?
    Having established that I could bring in the file through Overdrive Media Console, I next tried bringing the same file into my ipod using itunes.  This time when it asked to convert, it was allowed to convert the file.  I found it in the music.  I selected and right clicked it.  then I selected "Get info".  I changed the Media Kind to Audiobook.  Now I have a Book tab when I select my device.  The Welcome to Overdrive file is my one audiobook and I can locate it in the Audiobook folder under the Music folder.  Terrific!
    The remaining problem is to get library audiobooks that are marked as permitted to be put on my ipod to actually go there, using either itunes or Overdrive Media Console.  I really don't care which method I use, as long as it works.  Since I now have established a place for audiobooks to go, perhaps it would work, but my book loan expired today, so I have to borrow another book and try again.  This may take a day or two for the loan to come through.  At least that was how my first experience went in receiving a library audiobook.  This time I will look more closely to see if somehow I can download the files from the library site to my ipod without first saving them into my computer.  It may or may not be a choice.
    Does any of this make any sense to you or give you any other ideas for suggestions?  I am grateful to you for having this discussion with me.  I was able to get some ideas from you and from your suggestions to try a few more things.  I feel I have made some progress in understanding what it happening with audiobooks and my ipod.  Now I need to be a better understanding of how this library system can work with the ipod.  Thank you so much.
