Frequently Asked Questions
- Audiobooks can be downloaded to your PC in two sizes. The smaller size is recommended for those with slower connections. You can then listen on your PC or download to an mp3 player. You will need Media Player 9 for Windows or later, Musicmatch Jukebox 8.2 or later or Nullsoft Winamp 5 to download.
- Download times for an average 9 hour audiobook range from about an hour for a radio quality audiobook on a 56K modem to about 10 minutes for CD quality on a high-speed cable modem. (Info on DSL, How Cable Modems work)
- Audiobook files work with some portable music players, portable media centers, pocket PCs, mp3 players, and many smartphones. They DO NOT WORK WITH iPODS because these players do not support Windows Media Files with rights management.

- note the elapsed minute on your mp3 screen and fast-forward to that point when you resume you listening.

Tested Players WMA/DRMK 32Kbps compatible. Windows Media Audio (WMA) is an audio compression format similar to MP3, but with built-in digital rights management (DRM) for copy protection and usage restrictions. The DRM used by NetLibrary eAudiobooks controls expiration of your eAudiobook, so that they will expire or return to the library at the end of the borrowing period.
