Good Book
This is darn near the best book I have ever read on this subject. It is jam packed with useful tips and treasures. After reading this book I came away feeling like an expert. I can't wait for the next book in this series. Wahoo!

Music on theinternet-easy for everyone
As a novice, I was looking for some information on how to tap into the new internet music technology. This book gave me the answers in simple and interesting language. I was able, without a technical background to log onto the net and find many more music sites than I ever thought possible. I have used Dummies books before and found them very useful. This book is no exception. I am also familiar with the author becuae I have been reading his articles in the Circuits section of The New York Times...He is very knowledgeable and readable.
