1.0 out of 5 stars Only for newbies!, January 22, 2001

This review is from: Essential Computers: Playing Music on Your PC (Paperback)

Don't think of buying this book unless you know absolutely NOTHING about MP3 or Windows. It is SO basic that it is completely worthless to anyone looking to learn something new about MP3 or about using an MP3 portable. It also has a strong emphasis on a particular MP3 player (Nomad) & a particular MP3 software called Sonique. So unless you are using either or both of these products, I would avoid this book. I am giving it 1 star instead of none because newbies to MP3 & people using Sonique on a Nomad player might find it useful.
