NetLibrary #14 Completed

Checked out both OverDrive and NetLibrary. Downloaded the NetLibrary Media Center and browsed Mystery and Suspense. Chose Mistletoe Man by Susan Albert Wittig and thought I downloaded it to the computer. It did start to play but then I got an odd message saying that there was an unexpected error. Will try again at home with my ipod later.

It did seem much easier to use than before and were it not for the mysterious unexpected error, it would have been a very smooth transition.

This is what downloadable books do for me; I usually listen as I'm weeding or cleaning house!

Okay, Nancy knows I've already traveled down this road a couple of months ago. I was testing out one of the ATS MP3 players and downloaded Ill Wind by Nevada Barr and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See. Managed to listen to both of them (mainly while gardening), but had a time of it getting them downloaded and then finding them on the itty bitty MP3 player (I evidently downloaded them into a music file!).

I tried each of the Overdrive tutorials tonight, but (Phyllis is my witness) none of the three would come up! It said they were done loading, but there was a blank screen. I have looked at the FAQs and am vaguely familiar with the compatible devices (my iPod, of course, is NOT one of them!).

Haven't yet tried burning to a CD....and am not sure I will!

NetLibrary II

Hey,
Life is good! (Do I need to put some kind of copyright acknowledgment here?) The problems I had with NetLibrary had nothing to do with ME, but with my computer! When the computer guru's did their magical techno thing, all was well with my world and I successfully downloaded and can listen to my book! Try it....if I can do it, you can too!
