OverDrive Media Console
OverDrive Media Console utilizes Windows Media Player® 9
Series or newer to play files. The first time that Windows
Media Player attempts to open a DRM-protected file, it will
alert you that a Security Update must be performed before the
file may be opened. The update takes just a few moments, and
must be performed before Microsoft Windows Media Player will
allow any DRM-protected files to be played.
