MP3 has generated multi-million dollar lawsuits, record industry panic, and waves of interest from Internet users. 'MP3 for Dummies' sorts through all of the hype and helps readers to understand what MP3 is and how they can use it. This book covers downloading and using PC based MP3 players; purchasing and using a portable MP3 player; finding MP3 files online and figuring out what's legal and what's not. The book also helps aspiring musicians to distribute and promote their work through this new medium.
The companion CD contains MP3 players for hearing music through a PC and encoders for turning sound files into MP3. The CD also contains sample MP3 files from independent musicians in a variety of musical styles.
