Using the Download Station
We’ve received a number of questions about the download station in the Readers’ Services area. More and more people are discovering our downloadable collection and checking out eBooks and eAudiobooks. The download station makes it easier to pick up audiobooks while you’re in the building.
When it works, it works quite smoothly. Choosing an eAudiobook and downloading it to your player of choice should only take a few minutes. But we’ve had a few curveballs lately that we thought we’d address here on the blogs.
Here are some key things to remember as you use the Download Station:
- The station only works for eAudiobooks, not eBooks. The software on the Download Station is only configured to download audio materials.
- The station should work with most mp3 players, including iPods. If you don’t have a USB cable or an iPod sync cable, ask at the desk and we’ll loan you one.
- If using an iPod, make sure it’s set to Manual Sync. If your iPod is set to Automatic Syncing, the eAudiobook will replace everything that has been preloaded on the device.
- Make sure the item you’re choosing to download is compatible with your chosen device. iPods, for example, can only download the mp3 eAudiobooks on the station. Check the symbols under each item to make sure it is compatible with your device.
- If a download fails on the Station, you can still download the eAudiobook at home. All your checked out items will appear under your Digital Account.
- If you’re still having problems, please see a librarian! We are happy to help with all your digital downloading issues.
As always, we welcome your suggestions for new titles. What other items would you like to download from our collection?
