Changes to Libby – November 13, 2024
Ending support for OverDrive’s desktop apps and website MP3 downloads
On November 13, 2024, we will retire the MP3 audiobook format from OverDrive library websites and end support for OverDrive’s desktop apps for Windows and Mac (which only work with MP3 audiobooks).
After this change, you can listen to audiobooks using the following options:
- In Libby (available for Android, iOS, or Amazon Fire devices or at libbyapp.com in a web browser)
- On your library’s OverDrive website using the Listen now in browser option
- In the OverDrive app (only available in select countries)
