OverDrive Media and DRM

I found some audio books from the library.

I downloaded them and they use OverDrive Media Player.
This takes Winders Media Player 11 and has to have DRM security installed. Each time I attempt, it gives error to contact Microsoft.

Link to what seemed simple directions

Any suggestions?

 

This page http://www.thecodecave.com/article187
gives three ways to get OverDrive Media Player to work, going from easiest to hardest. Hopefully, the first way will work for you.

 

If that doesn't help, I have a link to the DRM file on the M$ website somewhere, will dig it out.

 

Hmmm, I downloaded it on the Linux box, shoved it and the player on a flash drive and attempted to thwart my wife's XP junkbox. :major

I like this solution. I will post the results.

Linked here and number 1 and 2 did not work- this site has a bit more detailed directions.

Also the comments are helpful.

Number 3 Worked-

Yeah!!! Instead of spending $24.95 for an audio book, we can listen to them from the library. This will be great for my wife who is legally blind.

Thank you for the link!!

 

I recently learned my library offers the same service. Its great, but I'd love to be able to listen to the books on my ipod/mp3 player... Advice or help, anyone?

:confused

 

I keep getting an error message that says "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows your running. check the system and see if you need a 32 or 64 bit and contact the software publisher." or something like that. i have downloaded the overdrive media console but every time I try and download an audio book it gives this message. I have tried to change the settings with the "use an older program with this version of windows" in the control panel with no luck. any one have any suggestions.
