5.0 out of 5 stars Great Foundation and Lots of High End Information, March 18, 1998

This review is from: Recordable Cd Bible (Paperback)

This is the most up-to-date (7/97) book on the subject that I could find. While an update is needed for better information regarding CDRW and DirectCD / i.e. Packet Writing, Mr. Chambers has done an admirable job at creating a document that provides a strong foundation, terrific narrative and many, many jewels of knowledge. While he puts great emphasis on Adaptec products, it could be argued that they are about the best products on the market anyway. A section on more comprehensive potential troubleshooting philosophy would also be helpful in an update. Overall, no better reference is available at this time. It's a great book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very limited focus, not a generally applicable book, December 30, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Recordable Cd Bible (Paperback)

After looking at this book, I would have to say it would only be useful to novice users in a Windows world. The included software is almost entirely Windows-centric.
It barely mentions the Macintosh platform very little, which I find odd since the Macintosh is generally regarded as the best CD-R mastering platform. If you're in the right niche audience, the book could prove useful. Otherwise, give it a miss.

3.0 out of 5 stars Who is "Luna Muse"?, December 4, 2004

This review is from: Recordable Cd Bible (Paperback)

This "Luna Muse" person is writing "reviews" of Mobile Fidelity CD-Rs all over the 'net; this is the third one I've found--and I merely did a web search on "Mobile Fidelity", not a search on "Luna Muse".

The "reviews" always consist of the same, regurgitated ad copy written by Mobile Fidelity.

Wonder who Luna Muse works for?

Guess.
