Workaround for Overdrive WMA Audiobooks on iOS 5

Hello - I stumbled across a workaround to the problem of Overdrive WMA library audiobooks appearing on the device as playlists rather than audiobooks in iOS 5. There are so many threads about this problem that I could not decide where to post this where it would do the most good, so I started a new thread. I hope that is not a problem, but if it is I'm sure someone will tell me. lol.
My specs:
iPhone 4s
iOS 5.0.1
Overdrive Media Console 3.2.1.0
iTunes 10.5.3.3
Windows 7
Download a freeware product called iPhone Folders (PC only, unfortunately). This lets you search the contents of your device in windows explorer.Note: There is another freeware product called iExplorer that runs on Mac and PC. It shows more information about files than iPhone Folders --  timestamp, for example -- but doesn't seem to have a search function, which is needed for Step 5 below. Could be I just didn't look hard enough though. Also does not let you open the file directly from its interface, which you'll need to do in Step 6 below.
Download your Overdrive WMA audiobook.
With Overdrive and iTunes open and your device connected, transfer the audiobook from Overdrive to your device. In the Device section of iTunes, you should see the book files under "Books", and there should be a playlist for each book.
From "Computer" in Windows Explorer, view the contents of your device. The music files, including your library audiobooks, are located in subfolders under "iTunes-Control".
Do a search for *.m4b. You should get the same number of results as the number of audiobook parts you downloaded/transferred.
Double-click each m4b file so that it plays for a few seconds in iTunes. For whatever reason, this causes the library book to appear in the "Library" section of iTunes, under "Audiobooks".
When you've played each part as in Step 6, check your library audiobooks section to be sure that all the parts for each book are listed.
Go to the "Device" section and delete the playlist under "Books" AND all of the book files.
Drag the book that appeared in your library during Step 6 to your device.
The audiobook should now appear under audiobooks on your device.
Some notes:
iPhone Folders will let you search for the .m4b files, but of course they are all named with four random letters and no properties are displayed (album, artist, etc. Not even modification date.). This means that if you have a lot of books, don't lose track of what you've clicked on and miss one, or you'll have to start all over at Step 5.
I have no idea why this works. It is tedious and a bit time-consuming, depending on how many parts you have, however as serious audiobook listeners know, audiobooks REALLY need to be in the audiobook section. Playlists just don't cut it.
It's not clear to me whether it is Apple, Overdrive or both who need to fix their software to make this sort of kludgy workaround unnecessary, but I hope they get it straightned out soon. Like before I run through my current batch of library audiobooks.  

Glad it helped!
Also, I figured out how it works: playing the m4b causes iTunes to create a temporary copy of the file. If you go back later & try to open a book file from the library, it will not be found. So basically once you've copied the books from the library back to the device you can delete the library copy.

  • OverDrive WMA Audiobook and iTunes?

    Hey, I just joined this library audiobook service.  http://nwwanytime.lib.overdrive.com/3C976B44-8233-4FB1-BF03-31B0FF85F967/10/504/ en/Help-QuickStartGuide.htm  The books come in various formats including MP3, trouble is it seems every one in which I might be interested is marked "OverDrive WMA Audiobook."  It says they play on iPod but I don't see how, since I know regular WMA format is completely incompatible with iTunes, and if I can't get material into iTunes I don't see how to get it onto my iPod.  I joined NetLibrary through my local library and more than half the titles were completely useless being in WMA, including most of those I most wanted.  Someone here gave me the name of some program which converts WMA to MP3 but I haven't had time to mess with it yet.  Thing is, NetLibrary is free through my local library, so I can mess with those books anytime, but if Washington Library Anytime has something NetLibrary doesn't, is it worth my time trying to download titles in OverDrive WMA Audiobook?  Because I had to pay to join this other library and the card expires at a certain time.  If it's going to expend gallons of blood, sweat, toil, and tears to get the books to play, I'll have to give them the go-by, but if it's not too much of a struggle I wouldn't want to miss titles I could have otherwise obtained if I knew what was involved.  Is this some kind of special WMA or are they just misinformed or lying?  Is there something special I should do to make it work, or should I just give those books up as a bad job and concentrate on what I can actually make work?  Thanks.

    Some find the mobile device transfer confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 book onto an Apple mobile device do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

  • IPhone 4 won't transfer wma audiobook after ios 5 upgrade

    I have always "checked out" audiobooks from my library website.  I like the .wma audiobooks best because they actually transfer into my "audiobooks" where mp3 books go into my music.  I use Overdrive Media Console to transfer from the library website to my phone.  Since I've upgraded to ios5 itunes won't transfer.  It keeps giving me an error message "iTunes can't sinc because the file cannot be located."  Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it??

  • HT201272 I seem to have a version of overdrive media console that does not support wma audiobooks files. Is there anyone with this problem with a solution.

    I recently installed the overdrive media console.  I was able to down e books and mp3 books but when I tried to down wma books. A message flashes out that the omc that I installed from the apps store is unsupported format.  The version of omc does not support wma audiobook titles.  Any suggestions.
    Daphne

    WMA stands for Windows Media Audio...it is a Microsoft audio format that is not supported on the Mac or iOS version of the apps.   If you want to use the WMA audiobooks, you will have to use the Windows desktop app.  You can use MP3 audiobooks on any version of the app.

  • I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks?

    I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists.  It is marked as an audiobook in Options | Media Kind.  It is also marked to Remeber Position, but it does not do that.

    This worked for me.  I would like to see Apple fix this issue, as it isn't very fun to have to do this for every downloaded book.

  • Transferring protected WMA audiobooks to iTunes/iPhone using OverDrive Media Console

    Hi there,
    My local library is now offering audiobooks. I have downloaded one, that went fine - I have the file and can listen to it. The problem is that I can't seem to transfer the WMA Audiobook to my iPhone using this software they provided (OverDrive Media Console), even though their website says that it can be transferred to apple devices (including my iPhone) and the library site says that this particular audiobook is permitted to be transferred to apple devices (including the iPhone).
    When I try to Transfer using the OverDrive Media Console, I get this error:
    "The OverDrive Media Console Transfer Wizard is not able to connect to iTunes. If you intend to transfer content to the iTunes Library and/or a supported Apple device, please note that iTunes v9.0.2 (or newer) is required. iTunes is available as a free download from Apple; visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/download to download iTunes. If your system meets this requirement, please close any open iTunes dialog boxes then attempt to transfer again."
    I have read that others have had the problem, but there are few solutions emerging, from what I can see anyway.
    I have went to this website (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite) in my Internet Explorer browser and upgraded the Windows Media Player security version. OverDrive says my security upgrade version is 2.9.0.1.
    My iTunes is up to date as far as I know. iTunes 10.4.0.80. Perhaps the recent update is something to do with this problem? I don't know. I am using Windows 7, and the OverDrive Media Console version is 3.2.0.5.
    I have changed my iPhone settings to "Manually manage music and videos", as OverDrive requests this.
    When I try to put these protected WMA Audiobook files into my Automatically Add to iTunes folder, I get an error message saying:
    "One or more of the songs being added are in the protected WMA format, including the song "examplesongname01.wma", and could not be converted.
    iTunes can only convert unprotected WMA songs. If you have the original CDs for these songs, you can import them using iTunes."
    I have restarted iTunes, OverDrive Media Console, and my computer countless times. My home network sharing is turned off; I mention it as I saw someone had suggested that as a solution.
    The two suggested solutions I haven't tried yet are:
    - convert them to MP3
    - uninstall and reinstall iTunes & OverDrive Media Console again.
    I don't really want to uninstall iTunes. I have a lot of music and audiobooks; it takes half aday for iTunes to load them all up again. As for converting to MP3s; I don't know if this is legal. Plus, I don't know if these protected DRM files can be converted like that.
    Ok, well I hope someone else was in the same boat & solved it. Otherwise it'd be a real shame if we couldn't get these protected WMA audiobooks onto our iPhones.
    Hope you can help.
    Thanks.

    Once you have downloaded the audiobook to Overdrive Media (OMC), you need to connect the Apple device to which you wish to transfer the ebook, then use the transfer button on OMC.  That converts it to an mp3 file.  The ebook cannot be transferred to iTunes.  iTunes is simply the medium used in the transfer to an Apple device.  The tutorial below covers all the specifics.
    Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc .  Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
    7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html .  The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
    8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com .  You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books.  At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

  • ITunes Match/iOS 7 iPhone music workaround for excessive data usage?

    I just got an email from AT&T indicating I had exceeded 150GB of home data usage this month. It was because I used my home wifi to download 5000 songs to my iPhone from iTunes Match to fill it.
    I'm frustrated, since it used to be so easy to make iTunes Match work for a large amount of music: In iOS 6 what I used to do (if I had to restore iPhone and set up as new phone): Plug iPhone 5 into computer, set up phone as new, check "manually manage music and videos" and "prefer 128kbps" and make sure iTunes Match was off in phone settings. Then drag & drop 5000 songs (about 40GB) from iTunes into phone. Once that was completed (a couple of hours), I could disconnect the iPhone from my Mac, turn iTunes Match to "on" in phone settings, and I'd get a message on the phone saying "All music on this device will be replaced" which is fine, but other than taking a while to update the remainder of my iCloud stored music, it used very little data.
    Fast-forward to this past weekend. After updating to iOS 7.0.2 and having to do a restore and set up as new iPhone, this approach didn't work: When the step came "All music on this device will be replaced," all of the 5000 songs entirely re-downloaded all over again, which took 27 hours and burned through 40+ GB of home data (not phone data, since I was on Wifi). I kept my phone at home, plugged in and on wifi all weekend so as not to burn through all of my LTE data.
    What is the deal? If I have to do this again (let's hope iOS 7.0.3 or 7.1 doesn't force my phone into recovery mode again), I certainly don't have the time or patience to let iTunes Match redownload all music again, and I certainly don't want to use up 40+ GB of home data.
    Is there a workaround for this? Have others been successful transferring music via computer first and then turning on Match without problem in iOS 7.0.2? I'm sure it worked that way in iOS 6, and without completely redownloading all the music again, since that process would have taken several hours and a lot of home data, and I have not had any problems like this prior to iOS 7.

    I think a better question is why do you "have to" restore your iPhone and set it up as a new device as often as you seem to? This seems to be more of a problem for you.
    I followup question is why do you have iTunes Match turned on if you're syncing all your music to your iPhone?
    Perhaps you should examine how you're using your iPhone and iTunes Match?

    To answer this question, yes I have. It has always worked this way for me.

  • Overdrive Media Console app for old ipod touch with ios 4.2.1

    A friend recently gave me an "old" ipod touch. According to my itunes software, Its os is now up to date with version 4.2.1. I want to download the app for Overdrive Media Console, but current version 4.6.2 of Overdrive requires requires ios 4.3. Is there a way to download an earlier version of the app that will work with my ipod touch? Thanks for your reply.

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Workaround for opening GB 2.0.1 iOS in LP9?

    I have a compatibility issue between the latest GB for iOS and Logic Pro 9 on the Mac. LP 9 will not open the latest version of GB iOS. I cannot download LP 10 bc my 2007 MP is 32-bit EFI. I'm not comfortable w/ the hacks for getting Mavericks, etc. as I'm not computer savvy. I'm a songwriter who wants to write and record as simply as possible. My current set-up runs like a tank (except this one "little" compatibility issue!). GB iOS is great for getting ideas down when on the road. Then I flesh things out on the Mac in LP and add the audio tracks there as well.
    Anyone know a workaround for opening GB 2.0.1 iOS in LP9? I don't want the audio BTW, just the MIDI. I can find the audio by "show package contents", etc. but I can't see the MIDI info in the folder. Maybe my OSX won't recognize as I could possibly do this manually? When I unpack a pre-2.0.1 GB file on the Mac, I can see both the audio and the MIDI, but not on the new GB ".band" file. Any thoughts or ideas are welcomed. Thank you!

    Hi Marian,
    Despite the Default Mappings table in the Oracle9i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference, I have found that the only reliable mapping between any database table column with the NUMBER datatype (regardless of scale and/or precision) always maps correctly to the "java.math.BigDecimal" class.
    Personally, this mapping has not caused me any troubles -- and I have never had a requirement to use a different mapping. Is there some reason why you have to use "Float"?
    Remember, a PL/SQL parameter of type NUMBER must not have any scale or precision, so the only suitable java class is "java.math.BigDecimal". So I wouldn't call it a "bug", but of-course you are free to think what you want :-)
    Good Luck,
    Avi.

  • Getting WMA AudioBooks on to iPad

    It is my understanding that Mac does not support WMA AudioBooks ( only MP3).   So, what is one to do?  I have been working with my local County Library Resource Guru and she has provided a guideline on how to get a WMA AudioBook oto an iPad.  But the procedure involves loading a WMA AudioBook onto a PC and using Overdrive Media Console to convert the WMA AudioBook to a format acceptable for an iPad.  #1, I do not own a PC.  I have a G3( with G4 upgrade) B/W PPC desktop ( OSX 10.4.11) and a MacBook 2,1 laptop ( Mac OSX 10.6.9, which I use to sync my music to my iPad ). 
    I have noticed a number of WMA to MP3 Converters on the web.  Do they work? and which one would you recommend or is there a better way o get a WMA AudioBook onto my iPad (3rd Gen, IOS 6)?  There must be Mac Users out there that are running ino the same problem as I am.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    You can download 3rd party Media players onto the iPad and transfer the WMA books directly onto the App.
    Apps such as Moli Player can handle a wide variety of formats including WMA. Best of All Moli Player is free.
    You can use iTunes File sharing feature to copy the WMA files directly into the Moli Player App on the iPad, no conversion is needed.

    You can find Moli Player in the iPad's App Store.

  • My iphone is synced with my mac. I want to download a wma audiobook but not possible on my mac. I have a pc also. Can i download and transfer to my iPhone on my pc without messing up my sync with my mac?

    How do I download and transfer a wma audiobook to my iphone when it is set up to sync to my macbook pro? I have a pc that I can download my book to, but I don't want to mess up my sync with my mac?

    The way to get Wma files on your iPhone takes a little bit of jiggering, but follow me: either install iTunes on a PC or partition your Mac and install XP there, then install iTunes for Windoz. Now, download Overdrive. Go to your library site, or wherever you get your WMA's and download with Overdrive, got that? Now open iTunes, and plug in your iPhone and check Manually Manage Music in iTunes. Go back to Overdrive and click Transfer. Note that iTunes must be open for this to work. It will install your book on your iPod, you can pause, bookmark and it'll even use the original artwork. Been doing it this way for years on an old iPod and now iPhone 4S. Do it once and you'll love it.

  • I absolutely cannot delete certain WMA audiobooks from my Iphone4. Please Help

    I have certain audiobooks that will NOT delete from my iphone.
    They all happen to be WMA  audiobooks from Overdrive Media Library. When connecting my iphone to itunes, they were visible under "Books". I deleted them and they were removed (but only from books in iphone in itunes).
    [Side note- these audiobooks were never in my itunes library. Through Overdrive Media Console, they transfer directly to your iphone.]
    Upon searching on my iphone in the "spotlight search", the audiobooks still came up in search results, and i could still play them. So they are still trapped on my iphone! Interesgtingly, these trapped audiobooks are not located in any traceable location. They are no where in Music anywhere( ie artists, song, album, etc). And they are not in Audiobooks under the More section(not in compilations, not in podcasts, etc). They only come up in "spotlight search".
    And the best part,after hours of trying to figure this out, I accidently wiped out all my music and other normal functioning audiobooks (i was experimenting with "Sync", thinking maybe that would help), and everything was wiped out, EXCEPT THE 3 WMA Audiobooks that i was trying to get rid off!!!!!!!!! They are still on my iphone- like cockroaches. Please help!

  • Is there a helper program to use WMA audiobooks on iphone 5?

    Is there a helper program to use WMA audiobooks on iphone 5?

    Thanks for the link, I appreciate the help.  I've been using Overdrive on my iPad 1 for as long as it's been available, just recently got an iPhone 5. 
    It was difficult but I was eventually successful at downloading a WMA audiobook via Overdrive.  Had to download to my ancient Dell, then transfer to the iPhone 5.  Took forever. 
    Unfortunately, it completely erased my entire iTunes library, omitted chapter 3 of my book (which I was unable to recover), and completely garbled all of the "parts" and chapters of the book making it almost impossible to find my place next time I wanted to listen.  Oh, and no bookmarks!  It was a disaster, nothing like the normal terrific Overdrive product I've apparently been spoiled by for years.
    MP3 only from here on out.
