To expand on Reverie's comment (which was good advice) Click transfer in Overdrive, click the Advanced button in the transfer pop up window, then you can select exactly where you want it to go and even create a new folder within Audiobooks for each book.

I haven't had any problems. When you get ready to transfer your Overdrive book to your player, there should be a drop down menu indicating where you want the book to be. Just make sure it says Sansa Fuze External uSD card. The audiobook will actually be placed into a music folder, so once you're done transferring the files, just move it into the audiobooks folder on your memory card.

I have had the same experience with other players. It is part of the copy protection to not allow files to be saved to external drives.

Both are good for audiobooks and have bookmarking.Difference is Fuze headphone jack does not breakoff easily. Clip's jack is on the side instead of bottom. Headphone jacks break off easily. Its a common problem.For that reason alone, I would go with Sansa Fuze.Other reasons to go with Sansa Fuze is the size. Its as small as an IPOD nano or deck of cards. The size difference between Fuze and Clip is not as big as you would think. They both fit in your pocket, and hand.Third, Fuze has a readable screen thats in color. Its much easier on the eyes. Clip is in black and white text. Its very hard to see and annoying. Overall, you'd be crazy to chose a Sansa Clip over a Sansa Fuze.

I know sansa supports audio books, not sure which format though. If you install rockbox, I believe it supports many formats. Will make your battery last considerably longer. It is noticable

When you're ready to download click on transfer on the OverDrive screen and on the first pop-up screen click next. On the next screen click on advanced options--it'll ask if you want to createa new folder in music---click NO and it well let you browse for a folder. Choose the audiobooks folder. Click OK. It takes you back to that second screen---click next and continue on....YOU HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY TIME.

The sansa fuze 4GB has better audiobooks then the sansa clip. I a own both of them i bought the clip first and then the fuze i would give the clip 4 stars on audiobooks, and the fuze 5. the fuze has bookmarking.

Thank you, thank you. I wasn't sure it would work with my Sansa Fuze. It sounds like it will work fine. "Jay Ohh"

Thanks for your advice. The flip side of the beauty of not being locked into iTunes sounds like I would have to purchase a whole new library though, if I was not able to transfer from iTunes. True? And how would I be able to transfer music off my CD's into a Sansa?

I have a sansa and I also have window's vista. No problems with downloading or loading the music on my player.

Yes it is. I transfer audio books from the OverDrive media console on almost a daily basis. Works perfectly! And in case you go over your lending time period on the books, the Sansa won't erase them automatically. That's my favorite part!

I have had my fuze for about 6 months and it is working well for me. I use it mostly for audiobooks. When I turn my fuze off and back on the audiobook I was listening to it asks me if I want to resume playback and it goes to the place where I was. The only time it doesn't ask is if I take the memory card out and reinstall it. This is my third sansa mp3 player and I have given them to others. I have only had one bad one.I had a e240,e280 and now the fuze. I love it.I like the fuze narrower profile.Check and make sure you have the most current updates

Overdrive has books in MP3 and Secure WMA format. This player will play either one. I have used both many, many times.

I am not sure where on the Sansa web site you see it mention that this product is compatible. I have downloaded PDF from Altec's web site http://www.alteclansing.com/images/user/IM413-IM414-MANUAL.pdf and the PDF does not specifically mention support for the Fuze. I will not be buying until I can be assured it will work.

I haven't had to remove the card I added to it yet, and I'm not sure where my son kept it or I'd tell you how. Maybe try Googling it? Most of the time you simply push it with your fingernail and it ejects. As far as uploading songs (audiobooks) to it, I used the card reader that came with the card, inserted it into my computer and click and dragged the songs and books he wanted on it. I would think for a instruction booklet or help, Google is where I'd go or sandisk.com. Hope that helps.

Is this still the case? The Device Center at Audible suggests that the Sansa e200v2 series is compatible. I'm looking at buying a player that will run Audible files and prefer this one if it is compatible. Thanks!

I was able to drop and drag from iTunes into both my Fuze and my wife's Clip. I first converted all the iTunes music into MP3 by selecting all the music, hitting the "Advanced" tab, and checking the "convert selection to MP3" box. I then had to change the USB connection in both the Fuze and the Clip to "MSC" and the music playlists drag and dropped like a charm.
