Week 9: 22 Downloadable Media

I became familiar with HCPL digital media site about a year ago. I have enjoyed music, audio books and even movies. I highly recommend it to anyone willing to listen. I had some trouble with the type of portable player that I first bought, somehow it would download the files but I was not able to play them. My second portable player worked much better. I have enjoyed listening to music, and books: Koontz’s “By the light of the moon” and “Intensity”, Johansen’s “Blind Alley”, Patterson’s “4th of July” and many more. I also downloaded a film “Fuera del cuerpo”. The film was watchable but due to my computer being of an older vintage, it would freeze and then start again.
It was very easy to download the OverDrive Media Console to my computer. I like HCPL’s media site because is easy to browse for items and put them on hold (if not available at the time). I enjoy Ebooks for reference type materials although I find it a bit awkward to use. I have not used Adobe Reader or Mobipocket Reader, but some of my friends really like that type of software.
The difference that I found between the library site and the free sites is the fact that the library site is familiar to me and easier to use plus I did not have to create yet another account with username and password!
