You've been meaning to transform your computer into a total music machine, but who's got the time? In Music Online For Dummies, Rolling Stone digital music columnist David Kushner makes the whole process easy and painless -- from downloading players to finding live concerts, even starting your own Net radio station.

Kushner covers all "Seven Wonders of the Music Online World": audio, video, merchandise, radio, concerts, news and information, and community. Want to find other folks into Radiohead? Find some obscure, out-of-print vinyl? Find the best skins? Promote your own MP3 music? Listen to Jimmy Buffett's personal Net radio station? Hear jazz from Lincoln Center? Kushner shows you how.

Music Online for Dummies ends with more than 20 pages of links to insiders' music business news reports, independent music mailing lists, artists, music clubs, Net radio producers, World music sites, and a whole lot more.
