Overdrive Offers New Mp3 Audiobook Drm-free Format

摘要

The District of Columbia Public Library download media collection, featuring the new OverDrive MP3 Audiobook format, was demonstrated at the American Library Association National Conference, June 28-July 1 in Anaheim, CA. To enable the DRM-free format, OverDrive is working with participating audio publishers and OverDrive library partners to reinforce the copyrights and permissions associated with download lending of OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks. These include new download steps for users seeking to borrow the new format. Library users are required to acknowledge and agree to specific terms of use to the borrowed MP3 files before they can download from their library's "Virtual Branch" website. After the lending period expires, the OverDrive Media Console software disables access to the expired title. OverDrive Media Console then prompts the user to delete all OverDrive MP3 Audiobook files from their PC and any and all transferred copies.
