[Publib] digital audio player recommendations?

[Julie Bauer]

Overdrive has its own list of really, really, plays
for sure -
http://www.overdrive.com/deviceresourcecenter/.  The
list is buried in the Overdrive help files -- we put a
link to it on our eBooks page --
http://www.lcpl.lib.va.us/ebooks/index.htm after
several patrons went through the whole rigamarole of
downloading software, configuring Media Player,
checking out and downloading books, only to find out
their audio player wasn't supported.  Not happy
people, and I don't blame them a bit.
