I thought this was pretty cool. Yesterday I was on my 17" Powerbook and wanted to check out an audiobook from my local library online. I wasn't sure if the PPC version of "Media Overdrive" would still be supported, since they are up to version 5 already. Sure enough, I was able to "check out" a new audio book from the library and my PPC version of Overdrive properly downloaded the file and then I plugged in my iPod and it transferred the audiobook to my iPod without any issue.

Not a big deal I guess, but I though it was pretty awesome that this was still supported on my G4.
[doublepost=1494273450][/doublepost]Oh yeah, obviously the Overdrive website which says you need a Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6 isn't correct...you just need the older PPC Overdrive software.

That's cool!

Great to see there are still other things out there that can be done.

PS, welcome to our forums here.
