Have you had any success? Downloaded this on my phone last night, enjoyed what has to be the worst app experience I've come across and then couldn't get anything but WMA files, even when the book showed as iPod-compatible.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it but the Circ Librarian did and she agrees with you. It does only work for WMA files. I hope they put out an improved version quickly!
ReplyDeleteCirc Librarian says only MP3 works, WMA would not. She got it to work after 45 minutes and 3 book titles!
ReplyDeleteHow do you pull the mp3 version? The titles I tried both had the iPod button lit up, but served the WMA. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I'm also sure it's completely non-intuitive.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following up.
Even though both WMA and MP3s are listed as being iPod compatable, you must make sure the title you chose offers the MP3 format. Not all of them do. You can click on the New MP3 Audiobooks section on NH Downloadable books for a selection of titles.
