Book Description

April 2000
The potential of the MP3 format is incredible. Using digital music, artists can distribute their music without being at the mercy of the traditional record label. It levels the playing field, giving independent musicians the ability to compete with the "big guys." This book explains how.

With the information in this book, bands will find out how to promote their music by releasing tracks on the net. They will learn clever ways to communicate with fans via the Internet, how to set up a Web site and what features the site should offer, and how to add art and lyrics to MP3 files-thereby making these files a more effective marketing tool.

The book covers everything musicians need to know about the MP3 format, from ripping better MP3 files to editing these files. Readers will learn how to shift music from one media to another with ease, and even how to find lyrics and take music lessons on the Internet.

2.0 out of 5 stars i recently read two books on promoting MP3s -- conclusion, March 30, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Mp3 for Musicians: Promote Your Music Career Online (Paperback)
i recently read two books on promoting MP3s and after some consideration, I think this was the lesser of the two, mainly because of the high cost. You basically pay a lot of money for a glossy cover and some nice pictures. You get the same information, and some better examples, in BUZZ YOUR MP3, an electronic book I discovered here at Amazon. I'm not saying this is a bad book -- it is very well written and the tips are fine -- but why pay so much for this book when you can get something else that is just as good in every way for a lot, lot less? Both books are about using MP3s to further your career. Both are well written. But this one just costs too much. Sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific, "user friendly" guide for serious musicians., August 4, 2000
This review is from: Mp3 for Musicians: Promote Your Music Career Online (Paperback)
John Hedtke and Sandy Bradley's MP3 For Musicians is packed with details on how a musician might present music on the web, from communicating with fans and deciding how to feature one's music to locating additional resources on the web and understanding and using basic MP3 resources. Highly recommended: the specific information tailored to musicians is unparalleled.
