NetLibrary Titles Now Available For Your iPod
Over 700 titles are now iPod compatible. You can search for iPod titles on the NetLibrary site by doing an Advanced search. In the optional search limits section, select eAudiobook in the format. Change the drop down selection box from all to MP3. Start your search. You should get about 750 titles which you can sort.
Another way to search for iPod titles is to limit the format to MP3 in the Search box of the Media Center. You will, however, get only 150 titles.
