Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book deserves the highest attention of all those broadcasters that are already involved in radio webcasting or who want to become involved in it."
Franc Kozamernik, European Broadcasting Union

"It's a really good book - excellent if you've ever thought about setting up your own web radio station. What's a really good idea is the accompanying web site which will provide the latest info on trends, tools etc."
Reader review from Amazon.com

"Written in an accessible, user-friendly style, backed with plenty of illustrations... For anyone thinking about setting up such a service, or already involved in one but believes it might not be reaching its potential, this is a 'must read'."
Richard Rudin, in RADIO magazine

'..an ideal starting point for a study of web radio, either from a practical standpoint, or from the point of view of a theoretical discussion of this relatively new means of audio (and visual) communication. Armed with Chris Priestman's book, the aspiring new broadcaster has all he or she needs to start their own global adventure in radio.'

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, but dated, July 15, 2003

By	Wyatt Kaldenberg (Bonsall, CA 92003) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a good book, however all books on the internet are outdated even before they hit the presses.
If you know nothing about Internet Radio this book is a good start, however you'll have to turn to the search engines to find out what is happening now. A good book that ages fast. Think twice before spending your money. Surfing the web is free and up to date. Wyatt Kaldenberg

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book - with unlimited free updates!, January 12, 2002

By A Customer

It's a really good book - excellent if you've ever thought about setting up your own web radio station. (But let's face it - most of us won't!)
What's a really good idea is the accompanying web site which will provide the latest info on trends, tools etc. A simple idea which should avoid the usual problem with these types of book - that they get out of date almost immediately.
Hope the updates keep coming ....
