"Understanding Digital Music" helps readers comprehend the confusing and increasingly crowded market for all forms of digital songs and albums. From on-demand services like Spotify and Beats Music to radio-type vendors like Pandora and Songza, this book will help you find the music service that satisfies your needs and budget (including ad-supported free services like iTunes Radio and Pandora's free offering).

In addition to covering disc-based music, such as that stored on conventional compact discs, this book also teaches you about high-resolution formats like SACD, DVD-Audio, and Blu-ray Audio, including surround sound (multi-channel) music. But it's not all peaches and cream. These formats require special hardware that supports their formats and the media is more expensive. Also, many album titles are not available in any high-resolution format.

Also, why are some artists not available via on-demand music streaming services like Rdio, Rhapsody, and others? Artist refusals and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) are covered in detail, helping you understand your options and purchase the service that's best for your particular musical tastes.

Also covered are more obscure topics, such as satellite radio and DRM (Digital Rights Management). Curious about more technical topics, like bit rates, sampling rates, and lossy versus lossless music formats? This book describes them in plain English, without skipping the important details that affect your wallet and happiness.
