A while back, I released an e-book called The 20 Things You Must Know About Music Online. Some people seemed to like it, and I’ve started on a new book tentatively called 100 Questions I Keep Getting Asked About Music Online.
But completion seems a way off. At my current rate of progress, we’re talking end of August — maybe mid-September.
But the e-book seems a good idea, and people seem to like downloading them and sending them to each other. So, just as an experiment, I’ve compiled a short PDF e-book based on a series of blog posts I did last year about things that haven’t changed as a result of the internet.
This one features a much smaller number in the title.
Download: Five Things That Are Still True [PDF] and feel free to distribute it widely, make it available from your own site, email it to anyone or give it away to your customers or members.
And if you’re interested, I’ll do a bunch more.
I have a list of 30+ topics to write, compile and otherwise assemble shorter form e-books for your reading pleasure. It might slow progress down a little on the bigger project – but in the interests of just getting stuff out there…

This “basic questions” riff you’ve been on is fantastic — you’re covering so much essential ground. These days I just send people to your site instead of trying to tackle ‘em myself.
I agreed almost everything but “the album is died” thing is possible truth as a digital dj I buy at Beatport and other mp3 shops only the tracks that fit my style of djing usually they come in compilations, Eps with 4 traks or colections of remixes of the same track even with the last I choose the remix i like most and thats all I never buy a whole release unless it’s totally amazing and this don’t happen frecuently.
People that ar not djs are doing the same on iTunes they just buy the track they like, this is and advantage of buying digital files, you don’t have to carry with the whole CD just because you like a pair of songs and then find that the rest is shit
Dear Andrew,
Keep them coming – fantastic work.
