Hi Eamonn
Some MP3 players will and others will not play protected content. It is known
as DRM Digital rights management.
You will need to check when purchasing the player if the one being purchased
supports DRM content or not. Also you would be advised to check on the
websites that you intend to download from if the content is DRM protected or
not.
Hope this helps
Noel

Subject: [vicsireland] MP3 player advice wanted
Hi folks,
A friend is seeking information on mp3 players. Though partially sighted,
she’s not particularly interested in accessibility.
Basically, she just wants to be able to download and play audio books, so
factors such as spoken menus, making recordings, listening to podcasts, web
radio, listening to or reading text, don’t apply.
She’s currently using audio cds with a portable cd player.
If there was just 1 book on the player at a time, navigation shouldn’t be
difficult.
Perhaps some of the Creative devices? I assume once a book is downloaded to a
pc, it’s a simple matter of copying to the Creative player?
Alternatively, I suppose an 8 GB iPod would also do, but you’d have to
download to iTunes, and transfer from there, I assume?
Are most audiobooks on sites like South Dublin Library and NCBI, MP3or WMA?
Am I right in thinking that portable players won’t play protected WMA?
Are there factors I may have forgotten?
Regards and thanks for all advice.,
Eamonn
