How do I extract *.odm (Overdrive Media) files on my Macbook Air

I'm running OS 10.6.7, OverDrive Media Console for Mac v1.1 and have download and install (I think correctly) Flip4Mac.

I can download the .odm file but can't extract the .wma files - I get this message: This version of OverDrive Media Console does not support Media in the 'WMA Audiobook' format.

Does anyone have a way around this? I really want to be able to listen to .wma books from my library.

Thanks.

Mac OS X (10.6.7)

The .wma files contain DRM protection.

You should download the .mp3 versions (if offered).

Thank yes - that would be the easiest - but I'm not talking about listening to it, I can work that part of the problem out myself.

I'm wondering if there is a way to basically run an odm download script on a Mac? to get the wma on my drive.

We can't discuss methods of circumventing DRM.
