E-Audio

Martin County Library now brings you downloadable audio books (e-books) from NetLibrary!

Come into the library and have staff help you create an account so you can begin downloading E-Audio titles to your your home computer or MP3 player!

How it works:

Create a free NetLibrary account by visiting any Martin County Library location.

Once you have established an account with a user name and password, you can access the NetLibrary e-audio book collection at any time, anywhere there is an Internet connection.

Use NetLibrary’s basic or advanced search tools to find the e-audio book you want to download.

Once you have decided on a title to download to your personal PC or laptop, choose CD Quality or Radio Quality.

(CD Quality offers high fidelity playback for patrons with high-speed Internet access. You must use CD Quality to download if you plan to transfer the file to a portable media player. Radio Quality provides smaller files with shorter download times, but cannot be transferred to a portable media player.)

You WILL NOT be able to burn a disc from the download.

Things to know:

You may check out up to 10 audio e-books at one time.
The file of checked out books is active for three weeks (21 days).
After the check out period expires (21 days), the license will automatically expire. You can renew the license only once during the three weeks without downloading again.
Library computers can not be used to download and transfer audio e-books. We can not accommodate the transfer of these files to personal portable media players due to the wide variety of software required.
Personal wireless laptops may be used to download and transfer audio e-books in the library.
Downloadable audio e-books are WMA files and are only compatible with Windows Media Players 9 and above. This service is not compatible with Apple products, including the iPod.
