OverDrive Media Console

OverDrive Media Console was a proprietary, freeware application developed by OverDrive, Inc. for use with its digital distribution services for libraries, schools, and retailers.

The application enables users to access audiobooks, eBooks, periodicals, and videos borrowed from libraries and schools—or purchased from booksellers—on devices running Android, BlackBerry, iOS (iPad/iPhone/iPod), and Windows, including Mac and Windows desktop and laptop computers.

OverDrive Media Console supports a variety of formats, including EPUB and PDF for reading, and MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA) for listening.

[5] WMA content is only supported on the Windows version of the OverDrive Media Console,[6] which dramatically reduces the number of titles available on other operating systems.

However, many publishers allow transfers of WMA format materials to Apple devices after downloading to a Windows computer.
