Works Even For "Older" Musicians
Being an "older" musician--that is, I didn't grow up with a computer attached to my head--I've been rather biased in my attitude toward the Internet, thinking that the tools it had to offer were mostly hype. In truth, I was just intimated. However, having read "The Musician's Guide To The Internet"--and now being informed rather than ignorant--I'm neither dismissive or scared! And that's a nice change for a geezer like me!

Necessary for the Hip Hop Entrepreneur in the 21st Century!
This book is one that we at nichemarket recommend highly in our Booklist for any Hip Hop Entrepreneur serious about a career in the music industry! --Walt Goodridge, President, Hip Hop Entrepreneur Association

great for cave dwellers
I simply cannot believe all the positive reviews this book got. This book is made up of the most basic, simplistic garbage you are ever likely to find. Here's a checklist of things authors Souvignier and Hustwit recommend to help aid your musical ePromotion efforts: 1) A COMPUTER 2) Modems and 3) Broadband. (OH REALLY?!?!?!?!) They devote entire chapters to such inane 'advice' as the need for an internet connection.

There are only 88 pages in this foray into the bloody obvious, but they are so desperate to pad the page count that they count the cover as a page.

This is the stupidest book I have ever seen. The advice offered is so beyond basic that it is staggering. Unless you've only just now come out of a coma, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS LOUSY BOOK. As for me, I'm going to demand my money back from Amazon.
