It’s been five years now since the original publication of the book that was born out of this blog – The 20 Things You Must Know About Music Online (above left).
A lot has changed in the last five years.
To reflect that, my new book Music in the Digital Age (above centre) contains a section that addresses and updates the 20 Things point by point.
The book is a work in progress, being written over the course of the year – but it’s being published as I write it, and you choose what to pay for it – from $0 to $100 (I recommend $1.99 but it’s entirely up to you).
The section I’ve just completed and published finally brings The 20 Things You Must Know About Music Online up to date – which means that I can now focus on other things. The next section I’m writing focuses on Music as Culture in the Digital Age, and will feature some fascinating case studies from around the world.
I’m also simultaneously publishing translations of the book. The German, Portuguese, Estonian and Greek versions are already online – and I have just published the Spanish version (above right) – coincidentally while I’m in Venezuela, a Spanish-speaking country, which is a nice bonus.

We’ve talked about this in the podcast, but I thought it might be good to mention it again anyway: I’m writing a book called Music in the Digital Age, which you can download and read as I write it.
Apart from the subject material, which will be of interest to readers of this blog, it’s worth bringing it up here because the section I’m writing at the moment is the long overdue update to my ‘20 Things You Must Know About Music Online‘ e-book, which was released here nearly 5 years ago.
There’s a lot more to the e-book – and plenty of content to be added as the year progresses – but you can get your copy now as a PDF or in Kindle and iBooks format for whatever you want to pay for it, and you’ll get the updates automatically. Hope you enjoy it.
