OverDrive for Visually Impaired

Question:
Are you aware of, or have examples of, public libraries using OverDrive audiobooks with visually impaired customers? We've had a question from one of our Special Needs customers who would like to burn some titles to CD, but because of her visual impairement, finds it difficult to burn to multiple cds, and would like to burn to just one CD. I'm not sure if burning to audio DVD is an option (and would require special software anyway).

Answer (from OverDrive Support):
Thank you for contacting Library Reserve support. Unfortunately, burning an entire title to a single CD is not possible, as OverDrive WMA Audiobooks are designed to be burned as audio CDs with one part per CD. Additionally, the audio DVD format is not supported as an option for burning Audiobooks to disc. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by these limitations.
