Libby for Windows can be installed. Libby for Windows can't work. That's what Libby can and cannot do. I have no idea if it's a Windows 11 issue or not. But it's no longer supported and that could be why it fails to work.

You're missing the point. Catlady's concern was being able to download mp3 files to transfer to an mp3 player, and there is no Libby desktop app that allows you to do that. You must listen to audiobooks using the Libby mobile app or Libby browser app. You can download audiobooks to the Libby mobile app for offline listening within the Libby app, but there does not appear to be a sanctioned way to get those offline files out of the mobile device for transfer to another device. There is no download option for the Libby browser app; it appears to be streaming-only.
Sorry, but no. Overdrive is still working. I tested it earlier today. It downloaded the audiobook no problem. So Catlady can continue to use Overdrive to download the audiobook mp3 files and send them to her MP3 player.
