5.0 out of 5 stars
Easy to understand, all-inclusive guide,
By James King (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself e-Music Today (Paperback)
I have read several books on MP3, and this is definitely the best for beginners. It explains all aspects of finding, playing, and creating MP3 files. While it is easy, it contains enough technical information for advanced users, as well.The included CD is worth the price of the book, and is the best suite of MP3 programs and utilities I have seen!
