Mac users might have noticed that the 'Download MP3 Audiobook' button is missing on their audiobook loans.

The vendor has discontinued support for the OverDrive Media Console for Macs and the OMC program will not be compatible with the new Mac operating system Catalina, which is expected to be released in October 2019.
In advance of Catalina's release, the vendor has removed the 'Download MP3 Audiobook' button when a MacBook is detected. However, it is possible to temporarily bypass this lack of button on Safari -- until Catalina is installed on the device.
