Notes on Transferring OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks:

OverDrive Media Console for the Mac v1.1 only supports the transfer of OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks to Apple® devices.

If you are using an iPod® Shuffle™, you cannot transfer content using the OverDrive Media Console Transfer Wizard. However, you should be able to transfer titles to the iPod Shuffle using iTunes®.

If you plan to transfer OverDrive MP3 content to an Apple device, please note that iTunes v7.6.2.9 (or newer) is required.

If you want to use OverDrive Media Console Transfer Wizard to transfer content to an Apple device other than the iPod Shuffle, the setting 'Manually manage music...' must be enabled in iTunes before you can complete the transfer. Adjust this setting as follows:

Connect an Apple device to the computer.

If it does not launch automatically, open iTunes (v7.6.2.9 or newer).

In iTunes, locate the device in the left vertical navigation panel (under heading 'DEVICES'), and click the device.
The 'Summary' screen is displayed.

Place a checkmark next to option 'Manually manage music...'.

Click the 'Apply' button.
The iTunes 'Summary' screen refreshes, and the changes are saved.

If desired, close iTunes.
