Listen NJ is a free library service that offers downloadable audio books which are playable on computers and MP3 players. As of November, 2008, SOME downloads are available for iPods and Macintosh computers (when you access the title, it will indicate if it is iPod compatible).

Accessing ListenNJ is very easy: Click the link to the left or on the top of our home page.

The first time you log in you will need to do two things: create an account and download OverDrive. To download OverDrive, simply click on one of the links on the right side of the page under Software Downloads. (If you plan to use an MP3 player, download the OverDrive MP3 Audiobook. It is a very small file but is essential for converting tracks.

Next, create an account. Click on Audiobook Account. Select your library (which is Libraries of Middlesex Automation Consortium), type in your library card number (on the back of your library card, starts with 29302...) and your PIN number. Don't know your PIN?  Call the library and we will either email it to you (if we already have your email on file) or we will "snail" mail it to you. Your PIN gives access to all your library accounts and to protect your privacy, we cannot give you your PIN over the phone. Thank you for understanding.

Once you type this in, your account information will be listed.

Next, simply search for a title or author. Once the list is populated, select ADD TO CART. If you want more than one, click Continue Browsing. At any time, click on My Cart at the top to begin downloading.

Click Proceed to Chekcout to finalize the process.

Click Download. A box will open with Open with (OverDrive Media Console) select OK.

The download will begin filling in your OverDrive Folder. Once it is complete, you can listen to it.
