Overdrive is an Audiobook management program that is used by some libraries and online Audiobook sellers. Please note that Overdrive version 2 is out now and the first set of instructions are for use with that version. Instructions for version 1 follow those.

You must be using Pocket Tunes Deluxe to play Overdrive tracks on your Palm.

NOTE: Pocket Tunes must be in MTP mode and you need to have run the Pocket Tunes English Windows Installer exe file (available at http://www.pocket-tunes.com/download.html ) before attempting to transfer files via Overdrive. To put Pocket Tunes into MTP mode: open the Pocket Tunes menu, go to 'Preferences' and choose 'Copy from PC preferences', confirm that it says MTP in the drop down menu. If it says anything else, select the drop down and change it to MTP, then close Pocket Tunes .

1. Open Overdrive (make sure you are using version 2)

In the case of the LifeDrive, the internal hard drive should be topmost and the SD card beneath it (if you have a card inserted)
