Audiobooks: Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some basic, first steps to take when your patron runs into a snag when downloading an audiobook:

Ask some questions. Even if you know you cannot solve the tech problem yourself, tech support (or even I) will need to know some basic things.

  • What operating system do they use?

  • What is their library card number?

  • What book are they trying to listen to?

  • Which browser do they use and what version is it?

  • Ask them to read (or take a screen-shot) of their error message.


Basic troubleshooting advice:

  • Make sure the book is still checked-out to them.

  • Check to make sure the patron had not "used up" his/her three available downloads. (This is done via Content Reserve.) Reset the downloads, if necessary.

  • Uninstall and reinstall OverDrive Media Console.

  • If these first three steps do not work, send all available information to the support team. (Let me know if you need that address.)
