Yes. Audiobooks are compatible with a wide range of portable listening devices that support secure WMA (Windows Media Audio) format. See Supported Portable Listening Devices. The Windows Play for Sure webpage will help you choose a device based on size, price and manufacturer. Q: Can I download and play an audiobook on an iPod? A: No. NetLibrary audiobooks cannot be played on iPods. iPods use the .aac file format and the .aac file format does not support the Digital Rights Management protection required by NetLibrary audiobooks at this time. Digital Rights Management protection helps ensure that the content of our publishing partners is secure, especially when items are checked out from the library’s collection and borrowed by a user rather than purchased. This Digital Rights Management technology allows checked out items to expire on the due date.
