Do I have to wait for the file to download before I can listen to an eAudiobook?
No. You don’t have to wait for the file to download before you can listen to the eAudioBook. Once you select a download option, you are prompted to Open or Save the eAudioBook file. If you select the Save option, you can specify where the file is placed on your personal computer. This option takes less time to download the file, since it is only downloading the file. Note: NetLibrary highly recommends this option. If you select the Open option, NetLibrary launches Windows Media Player and begins streaming the audio as the file downloads. Once the download is completed, the file is saved to your media player’s download directory. This option downloads the file slower than the Save option, since it is playing at the same time it is downloading the file. You can stop the download at any time, change the download preferences, and restart the download.

Once you select a download option, you’re prompted to Open or Save the eAudiobook file. If you select Open, the file downloads and your media player is launched. The Save option allows you to download the eAudiobook file to a directory of your choosing. Once the download is complete, you can open the eAudiobook directly from your media player, or by using Windows Explorer. NetLibrary recommends that you choose Save rather than Open. Listening to a file while it is downloading increases the download time. It is also advisable that you save the file in a specified directory, so you can easily remember where the file was saved.
