Finding mp3/iPod compatible titles
August 26, 2009 – 12:34 pmWith over 1,000 mp3 downloadable audio titles currently available, the question then becomes this: How do I find them? There are a couple answers to that question, but the easiest ways are listed here:
Approach 1: Go to Netlibrary under “Subscription Databases.” Under “Advanced Search,” users can limit their search by format. Select “eAudiobooks” and then choose “mp3.” This will bring up the 1,097 titles that are available.
Approach 2: Open up the Netlibrary Media Center (downloadable through the link above). Click on “Search” in the upper-right hand corner and limit by “mp3″ under “Format.” This will pull up all available mp3 titles. Alternately, users can go to the “Browse” tab, select mp3 as the format then limit by broad subject area such as Memoirs, Business, Classics, Mystery & Suspense, etc.
Happy listening!

Do these download to an iPhone, also?
Thanks, Janet

Janet — The short answer is yes, your iPhone should work to play mp3 format titles (but not the wma format titles). Beware that since the download isn’t coming through iTunes, it will automatically put audiobooks into your “Music” folder instead of the audiobook folder.
