Catalina is 64-bit and no iTunes. Overdrive has decided to discontinue the Overdrive Media Console app since it is 32-bit and requires iTunes to do its thing, I guess. Any future Overdrive usage in their new 64-bit app will allow only direct streaming to the Mac for real-time listening, and no ability to port the material to a standard audio book player. Drat, drat, and drat.
