Subject: Re: playing WMA audio book files from Overdrive on IPhones

I have not tried the Overdrive audio books but would it be possible to
convert them to mp3 or m4a with a file converter such as Switch?  There are
several good programs for playing mp3 or m4a books such as Audio Book and
Podcast player. .  I listened to them all the time before the BARD app came
out and used Switch to convert the ones in WMA format to mp3 or m4a.
Just a thought.

Hi,

Well I guess I am going to have to try some of the WMA playing apps to see
if they are accessible or not.  It looks like  most of the audio books from
Overdrive are in the WMA format and they have a lot I'd like to read.

Thanks for the response.

WMA is a Microsoft proprietary format, just like AAC is an Apple
proprietary format, so you won't be able to play WMA files on your
iPhone, just as you couldn't play AAC files on the old Zune from Microsoft.
