[OPLINTECH] Downloading Stations

[Dan Will]

Jim,

  Floola works well.  I think it is a great replacement for iTunes (doesn't
require all the personalization that iTunes does). It just finds the iPod if
plugged in, and it goes from there.

Also, it's open-source and a single file that doesn't require installation.

Boy this would be difficult with those types of services because they
usually require that the device have an association with the PC. You would
have to allow the installation of device drivers for users to install there
devices as a guest and somehow prevent them from setting it as a default
device. Then you would also have to set up the PC to wipe out all of their
settings that get stored when they use these type of sites (reboot with a
product like deep freeze or something) after every patron use to reset it
back to the beginning.  It is a daunting task at best.

Hello All,

 

I am looking into having download stations for music, games, etc. So far, we
will have one that will allow patrons to download from Overdrive but I am
wondering if anyone has implemented a download station with other websites
like iTunes or Rhapsody? If so, what security measures have you implemented?
Do you employ a reservation system with this station or is it standalone?
Any information is appreciated.

 

Thank you,
