Customer Reviews

Ground zero for the digital perspective

Having MP3 in the title is a little misleading. Gilbey's book sets you up for a deep understanding of the digital revolution long after MP3 has been superseded by next the compression format. If all you want from 'Mp3 and the Infinite Digital Jukebox' is help you grow your music collection then it will certainly do that. Where the book's real value comes in though is in its ability to show you the choke points in the digital entertainment industry. I would suspect Chris Gilbey is a name we'll be hearing of again and again. A quick and easy read. Highly recommended.

The revolution will be downloaded.

A must-read for anyone interested in the user-friendliness of digital music. From one of the most experienced and respected record and publishing gurus in Australia.
