Trying to configure all the Winamp capabilites can be a serious hassle if you're like me (not internet-smart). That's where this wonderful book comes in handy. You really can't fail if you read over this book carefully and follow along to everything it says. Sometimes you may come across a confusing sentence here and there (again, I'm not internet-smart) but that's not really the BOOKS fault. It's my fault, and I'm aware of this. Downloading Winamp and properly installing it are just a few of the things covered in this excellent book. That's why you must own it to help your confusing mind understand Winamp. Then when you're all done reading and understanding, you can listen to your favorite songs over and over.
It's actually a manual...

This book is essentially well-written and informative, but the title is somewhat misleading - this is not an introduction to MP3s in general but rather a manual for Winamp, the popular freeware Windows player.There's nothing wrong with that - Winamp is really cool and should take pride of place on your desktop. Because Winamp is freeware it doesn't come with a manual, and while there's nothing in here you can't glean from the winamp.com website, it's handy to have a real-world reference book - more practical, let's face it, than its virtual counterpart.Apart from the how-to stuff, there's a short history of the MP3 format, and the basics of MP3 technology are glossed over. There are a few references to competing players, but only really to affirm Winamp's superiority over the rest of the pack.Ultimately, the best reason to purchase this book is if you use Winamp already - Winamp is free, so think of it as your contribution to the continued development of this rather fine product - a sort of round-about shareware fee!
Excellent!
