DE, I'm not familiar with audionotes. What are they?
Can you convert the files to mp3 and then burn them? That's how I remove DRM from files so I can put them on a CD.

All of the files are too long to burn to a CD.
What if you split up the files? In the options tab of each file, you can set the start and stop times. Set the stop time at some convenient spot less than 80 minutes in and burn a CD. Then reset the stop time to the end and set the start time to where you left off and burn another CD. And so on.

can you burn to a DVD?

Hey. New board.
Most iTunes files haven't had DRM for a LONG time. You should check if the filename is m4p (has DRM) or m4a (doesn't).

Woe to the fucking wicked.
They're m4b, audiobooks. Which is basically the same as m4p, which I was able to convert them to.
I couldn't convert them to MP3s. I didn't try splitting the files, but what seems to be working is importing them to iMovie and then exporting the sound. It's not elegant, but it seems to be working.

Does anyone have experience with Overdrive WMA files? Specifically, is there any way to play them on a Mac/iPod, or burn them to a CD?
This is the only format available for children's audiobooks from the Brooklyn library system, but there doesn't seem to be any way for me to use them since we're a Mac household. (There is an Overdrive iPhone app, but it only plays their MP3 files, not WMA.)

heh ... a story from the lighter side of tech problems: A coworker pulled a list of names and, when I looked at it, a bunch of the names were in the wrong order - last name first. I told her and, since we've JUST upgraded our database, I figured it was a glitch in the system.
She investigated and found the problem - the person who'd entered the information had put the last names in the first name field. Happy ending - she hadn't yet printed out the certificates they'd just earned. And the person who screwed up is the one redoing the data entry.

Yes, but according to both their FAQ and the library's, it only plays their MP3s. The books I want are only available as Overdrive WMAs.
