This book is mainly for beginners of myspace.
I didn't learn anything from reading this book, everything I already knew.
I definitely recommend it for the people just starting out with myspace.
It tells you everything you need to know and how to make your myspace yours.
It seems that it goes more in-depth about myspace it self rather than telling you what myspace musicians should do.
more than half the book wasnt even directed towards musicians.

If you already know myspace, save your money and just search the web.

The second updated edition of MySpace for Musicians: The Comprehensive Guide to Marketing Your Music Online is a 'must' for any indie musician. It covers all the basics of how to use the MySpace environment for promoting music, now considered the 'first step' for any serious musician. From setting up the social network's page to using MySpace from either a musician or a record label or music manager's vantage point, this in-depth coverage is a 'must' for musicians and libraries catering to them!

This book is the most comprehensive, most up to date, and well thought out book I have seen on the subject of Myspace and social networking. To my knowledge it has been the only attempt at covering all the "need to know" information for people looking to use Myspace for their business advantage. I have used several of the principles presented in the book, and having it as a resource has proven to be invaluable. Whether you consider yourself an expert, or just a casual user, this book will help you maximize the effectiveness of your social networking experience.

MySpace for Musicians is a great resource for bands that aren't familiar with all the ins and outs of MySpace. I highly recommend reading it! Fran Vincent goes through a nuts and bolts approach to MySpace that was incredibly helpful for me, especially since I am not HTML savvy. She also includes a great list of helpful websites to help edit your MySpace page as well as an insiders look to promoting your music on MySpace.

This book is a waste of money. Like MySpace it is out of date. The instructions in the book do not even relate to the current MySpace interface. Its IS NOT comprehensive has the title claims. Save you money.
