Titles can be downloaded to PC or Macs using the free plugin from Ingram Digital Group called the Ingram Media Manager. From your computer, you can then transfer titles to iPods and certain MP3 players for limited times. Follow the link to Digital Audiobooks, under Online Resources, from the sidebar to the left.
