Reviews

[Rennu Toots · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book, but too much concentrated to USA or UK. Too few artists from other countries.

[Peter Blom · Rating 2 out of 5]

Leek me heerlijk om mee op schoot te zitten achter de pc. Bladeren, lezen, googelen, downloaden, luisteren ! De mooiste muziek is immers al gemaakt..

Maar ja, musicmeter is actueler, heeft meer info en ik kan de muziek direct horen... dus toch vooral versiering voor de boekenkast.
