5.0 out of 5 stars
A superb introduction to doing audio on your computer,
By JULIAN A WEST (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mp3 and Internet Audio Handbook: Your Guide to the Digital Music Revolution (Paperback)
Although generally knowledgeable about computers, I was a total ignoramus when it came to digital audio -- until I read this book. I found it to be an excellent, extremely informative and highly-readable book that was hard to put down, and which I read cover-to-cover. If you're are a technophile, you'll enjoy the amount of detail it provides; if you're a technophobe, you'll appreciate the clear language and the invaluable recommendations of hardware and software. It's a book that isn't shy about including technical details but that remembers that the ultimate goal is the audio experience. I also enjoyed the free offer of about a hundred MP3 files.

Th best MP3 book I've read,
By Mark Franklin (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mp3 and Internet Audio Handbook: Your Guide to the Digital Music Revolution (Paperback)
This book has everything that you need to know to get started with MP3. Lots of detailed tutorials for all major software with plenty of screen shots. Great in-depth technical information about digital audio and CDs too. I picked up lots of useful tidbits even though I've been working with digital audio for many years.

This review is from: The Mp3 and Internet Audio Handbook: Your Guide to the Digital Music Revolution (Paperback)
MP3's have become one of the hottest new things on the 'Net, to the delight of music lovers everywhere and most likely to the chagrin of the music industry. This book covers a wide variety of topics regarding MP3's, starting off with a brief description of how mp3's came to be, where to find and download mp3's, Internet radio stations, etc. The chapter on digital music and copyright law also contains useful information on just what it and is not legal with regards to having and/or downloading mp3's.It also tells you what software and hardware is the best for playing mp3's and "ripping" your own mp3's. The descriptions of the software and hardware you can use are quite good. Next are three chapters describing in detail digital audio, along with MPEG audio. Then comes the section any mp3 "ripper" will be most interested in, ie converting music into mp3 form, by first converting it into a .wav format, then into mp3 and finally recording your own CD's. The book's final chapters are a 'tutorial" on various mp3 software ripper programs like Audio Catalyst and Cool Edit. There's also some info about using WinAmp, which is one of the more popular mp3 players (and the one I use). There's also further information about related web sites, other books, even a glossary. The future still looks bright for mp3. Not only is it a way for music lovers to download their favorite songs, it also is a way for new artists to "break through" by offering their music on various web sites in the form of mp3s. This book offers quite a bit of good information about the MP3 phenemenon.
