Digital Audio Essentials
Join the digital audio revolution! Tens of millions of users
are embracing digital music, and with Digital Audio
Essentials, you can, too. Nearly every personal computer
built in the last few years contains a CD-burning drive; MP3
and other portable player sales dominate the consumer
electronics industry; and new networkable
stereo equipment
lets you use your digital music collection to power your
home entertainment system.
Whether it's downloading music, ripping CDs, organizing,
finding, and creating higher quality music files, buying
music players and accessories, or constructing a home stereo
system, Digital Audio Essentials helps you do get it done.
An indispensable reference for music enthusiasts, digital
archivists, amateur musicians, and anyone who likes a good
groove, Digital Audio Essentials helps you avoid
time-consuming, costly trial and error in downloading audio
files, burning CDs, converting analog music to digital form,
publishing music to and streaming from the Web, setting up
home stereo configurations, and creating your own MP3 and
other audio files. The book--for both Mac and PC
users--includes reliable hardware and software
recommendations, tutorials, resources, and file sharing, and
it even explains the basics of the DMCA and intellectual
property law.
You may (or may not) already know the basics of ripping CDs
or downloading music, but Fries will show you so much
more--including advice on the multitude of MP3 players on
the market, stereo options, file formats, quality
determinations, and the legalities of it all. Both a timely,
entertaining guide and an enduring reference, this is the
digital audio handbook you need to make the most of your
