Hi mate,

I recently signed up for Overdrive, for ebooks, then tried audio. I haven't downloaded WMA files, only MP3's, and there's no apparent DRM on the MP3's.

Windows Media Player 11 "Library view" lists the MP3's - after enabling the "Protected" column - as not protected. I've played them in VLC and WMP no problem. And just now I tested an original Overdrive MP3 download file by a Copy and Paste directly from Explorer to a new Sony MP3 player, and it plays ok on the Sony, no problem.

I would have downloaded The Power of Habit as an MP3 to try it and report back but I'm short on available loans. I'd suggest the easy answer is get MP3's and convert them to WMA if that's what you need/want?

However, you may have sorted this out by now, my reply being 5 months after the fact.

Hope that helps.
