    Does this mean that ipods that talk to Macintosh machines are not supported by this new feature?

    Yes, that is correct. Apple devices are not designed to deal with Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM), and the Mac client is still limited to
    working with the MP3 files. So nothing has improved for Mac users, but OverDrive is making progress and that the publishers are loosening up their
    restrictions so keep checking back for improved service. You can also use the download station at the main library to add titles to your iPod.
