Great Digital Media with Windows XP focuses on the new digital media integration features in Windows XP, such as digital photography, digital audio/music, and digital movies.

Windows XP is the ultimate companion for any user that wants to integrate digital media into their lifestyle. And Great Digital Media with Windows XP will explain how it works, for both new and experienced users alike. Specifically, Windows XP makes it easy for any level of user to acquire, organize, manage, and share photographs on their computer, through scanners and direct connections to digital cameras. The book describes how to use the base OS tools for controlling digital cameras, sharing photographs on digital cameras without first moving them to the hard drive, and a variety of image editing tools. Windows XP also integrates with third-party photo printing services from Ofoto and Kodak so that users can make regular prints from their digital camera. For digital audio lovers, Windows XP makes it possible to rip music from CDs in MP3 or Windows Media formats, store and organize digital music, and record audio mix CDs, and Great Digital Media with Windows XP demonstrates how to do this step-by-step. Windows XP also includes tools discussed in the book for acquiring digital or analog video on the computer, adding titles and transitions, and saving the completed productions in a digital format that can be shared via the Web or e-mail.

This guy really knows what he's talking about.

ByStephen Cordson July 3, 2002

I have read a few things by Paul Thurrott in the past and found his work easily digestible and loaded with great examples. This book is no exception.
It was a gift, and even though I don't even run XP on my machine I would feel confident using XP tools to work with my digital media with this book by my side. The subject matter may be a little simple for the real tech heads out there, but for folks just starting to play with MP3s and digital imagery up to fairly advanced users looking for some excellent tips and tricks this is a great resource.
Pick it up and join the digital revolution!
