Since this is a book forum, it might be worth mentioning a couple of points about audiobooks.
Rockbox can't play protected WMA content, which is the format of most public library (OverDrive) audiobooks. But that's not a problem really, because Rockbox allows dual boot. I.e., when you power on normally, it comes up Rockbox; but alternatively, you can boot into the original Sansa firmware (which
can play protected WMA content) using a special power-on sequence (I don't know what it is for the Clip+, because I'm the odd one who doesn't like Rockbox).
To be able to resume audiobooks where you left off,
- Rockbox has a setting to do that for all files.
- The original Sansa firmware does that if either
----- the file is tagged "Audiobook" or "Podcast"
----- the file is stored in the "Audiobooks" or "Podcasts" folder (usually easier than retagging).
Since you must use Sansa firmware for public library WMA audiobooks, and you need to load them with the OverDrive app (as opposed to drag-and-drop), and since the OverDrive app by default sends content into \Music, you have to force OverDrive to instead load into folder \Audiobooks. There's a button "Advanced Options..." during OverDrive's Transfer process which allows you to change the location from \Music to \Audiobooks.
