OverDrive Media Console for Mac is Here

The wait is over! OverDrive Media Console for Mac is now available for download at http://overdrive.com/software/omc/download.asp. The free software for Apple computers maintains the superior audiobook listening experience of the original OverDrive Media Console for Windows-based PCs, which is installed on more than 3 million computers worldwide.

Your Mac users can now download OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks from your digital library website and transfer titles to Apple® devices such as the iPod® and iPhone.

Like OverDrive Media Console for Windows, OverDrive Media Console for Mac was designed with the audiobook listener in mind. Patrons can listen to downloaded MP3 audiobooks on their computer, transfer titles to Apple devices using the built-in Transfer Wizard, or burn audiobooks to CD where permissions allow. The OverDrive Media Console for Mac also offers your favorite features, including Parts and MediaMarkers, skip back 15 seconds, resume from furthest played point, and bookmarking. The software has built-in organization, allowing patrons to easily find downloaded titles grouped by author, title, and subject.

OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks downloaded from your digital library website will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, and OverDrive Media Console (for both Mac and Windows) will prompt the patron to delete the expired title from their computer.
