The new updated edition of Music Business Handbook And Career Guide provides the latest insights into the industry, which is going through extensive changes. For one, digital downloads and piracy are changing how music itself is available to the public. Online music, iPods, and other computer-based changes are transforming not only how the industry does business, but how it presents products and sells them. Sections on careers include all kinds of options, from managing artists to producing concerts, producing motion picture and TV scores, and more. A focus on all kinds of interactions between artist and producer, record company executive to band, makes Music Business Handbook And Career Guide one of the most comprehensive music business books on the market.

I give this item purchase a 5 star review. The condition of the book was great.I needed the book for a college course. I receive the book in timely matter.

I found just what I wanted when I searched for this book. The seller was the best and I rec'd the book in just a couple of days. Here is an $80.00 book that I bought here at Amazon used for $15.00. The condition is indeed "like new".
OK... the book itself...
Updated almost every year, this book lays it out in easy to read fashion what it takes to be successful in the music business if you are an artist. This book is required reading in select colleges that teach the business of music. It's just that simple. If you want to know about the music business, this is THE source for the most up to date information. Thank goodness this information has been laid out in an easy to understand book. It leaves out nothing and is indeed all inclusive.

Great price online. Its pricey at my campus's store. A dull and lengthy read, but useful if your Music Business calls for it.

very relevant and helpful for general information about the music industry

well laid out with a wide variety of topics

Very valuable resource for any Music Industry/Business Major. Its the Industry standard. Highly recommend it!

Everything that the artist never thought about... that's why we're artists, not business-people. Good reading and highly recommended.

This book is great to start with and you can really learn valuable information from it along with which path in the music business suits you the best. It is a great guide for a newbie and also for a experienced because everyone has something to learn from this book however the next book you need to read is: "The Music Business: How YOU can make $500,000 "or more" a year in the music industry by Doing it Yourself!" by Ty Cohen which along with this one will give you tips on how to get the best deals and make the most profit from your business. I assure you that if you have these two books you can't fail and your business will keep on growing.

The book is fine. Delivered quickly. In the condition that was described. Actually, both books are fine. Somehow Amazon tricked me, and I ended up with two books. When I clicked to order the first one, I got a red message that said this product was no longer available, so I went to the next one and clicked it. Two hours later I realize I have two messages informing me that I am getting two books. I recalled something about a return policy, so I emailed the more expensive book to cancel the order. No response. And I waited a half a day to give that seller time to respond. So I emailed the second seller, and she was kind enough to respond. She is not a dealer of any kind, and was not it a position to take the book back. So, I have two books on music business and I am preparing to learn to use Amazon or possibly another service to clean out my bookshelf. I will order much more carefully from now on, and I am disapointed in the claim that it is possible to return books or cancel orders, but it didn't work out for me.
