Well if you really want to know the whys about how music is stored on your computer and iPod; then this is the book for you. It goes into great detail about all the hows and whys. Also talks about the next generation of standard formats and why they will do an even better job at reproducing music. Not for the technically challenged.4 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Absolutely greatBy perfect listenerJonathan Sterne is simply great. If you want to lear about what is called as "Sound Studies" or "Aural studies" you definitely need to read his books; including this one. Clear; easy; documented and a enjoyable reading. A must. Someone should invest translating his books to other major languages.1 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Not useful for the casual readerBy CustomerA college treatise written in hideous "college speak" as opposed to English. Not useful for the casual reader. May not be useful for anyone; dont know. I abandoned ship after the first chapter.
