Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Music Online is intended, first and foremost, as a practical how-to guide to help the average personal computer user to get started in the world of online and freely-traded music, and to provide a Canadian resource base for anyone interested in the world of music on the Internet. It will provide information on public-domain sources, as well as the vast amount of music that is available for a modest cost or at full commercial value. The book will also address the Canadian legal issues that arise in copying material in a clear and straightforward manner. It will be a valuable reference for the music industry as it outlines the changes in technology and examines the myriad of opportunities that will arise as the industry evolves.
From the Publisher
A tiny piece of new technology called MP3 has sparked off a revolution in the music world more profound than Thomas Edison's invention of the phonograph. Now, music can be freely transferred electronically around the world and heard by anyone with a computer and Internet access.
Whether you prefer hard rock or top-forty pop, acid jazz or orchestral classics, everything you know about the music business has changed. Not just the music itself - but how it is performed, recorded, distributed, played back and, most importantly, where you get it. Will we need huge corporate entities to distribute and promote music when it flows freely by wire? Will we need music retailers for that matter? Needless to say, music fans and music performers are excited by the possibilities, while the music industry is more than slightly unsettled. Fortunes will be made and lost; lawsuits will be fought and won. And in the midst of it all, a lot of great music will find an eager audience.
