Recommended Settings
Windows Media Manager often needs to have the preferences adjusted in order to provide the best experience.
To Set Preferences:
1. Open Media Manager and log in.
2. Click the "Preferences" menu.
3. Change the settings based on your device or if you listen directly on the computer. Settings based on the 3 main types of devices/uses are below. Don't forget to click the update button when finished!
NOTE: Regardless of device or situation, we recommend that you select "No" for "Automatically download all titles." This ensures that Media Manager is not downloading files unless you tell it to. Some users had reported that the Media Manager will redownload the files for the books every time it is opened.
iPods (includes a setting in iTunes)
Transfer Wait Time Modifier--red arrow--getting a "port sleep" or other message that your iPod is timing out during the transfer of a book? Turn this setting up to 60.
Necessary iTunes Setting
1. With iTunes open, plug in your Apple device.
2. Click on your device's name (usually in the upper right side of iTunes)
3. Device summary should now be seen. Scroll down to "Options."
4. Click the box in front of "manually manage music and videos" to turn this option on.
Compatible MP3 Player (non-iPod) OR Listen Directly on Computer (not transferring to device)
Use MP3 format option--No is the setting for most compatible devices, but from time to time a device accepts transfers easier if "Yes" is selected instead. If your transfer fails, please try this first.
Partially Compatible Devices (Windows Vista & above only)
Not sure if your device is even partially compatible? See below.

Select the proper device if asked to do so.

Compatibility and Devices
Reminder: there are mobile apps for Android and Apple devices now, so you do not have to transfer from your computer to your smartphone or tablet. The apps are compatible with all formats of book.
Windows Media Manager can currently transfer all formats of books to some players (top section of list) and one format of book to other devices.
OneClickdigital's device compatibility list
Kansas librarians have been testing, and so far we have not found a single device that was not compatible with transfer of DRM Free/Not Protected books--even ereaders such as the Nook.
- Windows Vista or higher (sorry, does not work for Windows XP)
- Check out only DRM Free/ DRM Not Protected Books (these are MP3 format books). Here is a short video on how to find DRM Not Protected Books.
- Go to "Advanced Search"
- Select "Available" in the "Available to Checkout" drop-down box, then search.
- When the search pulls up, look to the Search Selection column on the right-hand side of the page.
- Under DRM, click on "Not Protected." This will sort out the books with low security that can be transfered to all devices.
Why there are currently two types of compatibility.
Essentially there are two types of non-iPod MP3 players:
- Portable device type -- have options for accepting transfer of more formats of materials without extra work.
- Portable storage type -- act more like a flash drive. Harder to move audiobooks with security (Protected WMA format) to these devices.
OneClickdigital's goal is to make both types of MP3 players compatible with all formats of audiobook, but this is an involved process. Sometimes a company makes both kinds of MP3 players, so that makes the compatibility list very compliated! If you are considering buying an MP3 player and want one that can handle both formats of book, please note the exact model name/number of the device you are interested in. Example: the regular Creative Zen Mozaic is fully compatible (portable device type MP3), but the Creative Zen Mozaic EZ (portable storage type) is not.
