Valuable Information, Mediocre Execution

The Narrator had a couple of hiccups while reading and stumbled a lot for a professional book written by a lawyer. He could have also been more enthusiastic, the material is kind of boring (but valuable).

It was good

Good basic knowledge, but I could not get over the nasally reader. Very distracting. It almost sounds like he recorded It on his iPhone at home while making cereal. I would advise to hire a professional next time.

Love this

Thank you you have answered a lot of questions that I have had and also prevented me from signing a contract which would’ve screwed me I appreciate you

Great Content, Bad Narration

Definitely worth buying a hardcopy. The narrator sounded like he had a cold and the editor didn't make the effort to cut out the distracting mouth sounds. But the information was valuable for someone just starting!

Simple and very informative book on music biz

Simple and very informative audio book on how to start a music business. I like the fact that it is less than 3 hours. I could finish listening to it one day!

highly recommended

great read for musician's..this has changed my perspective and enjoying both of the books start and run your music business

Good book. Not so good narration.

Very good material offered. The narrator's rendering, however, was at times so awkward and coarse it was an outright distraction from the actual text.

Information is great, very detailed.

Very informative and detailed. very goos content. I Struggled with the narration, not very good.

Great Information For Indie Artist

Loved the book, easy to follow with great information for independent artist and labels. Gave detailed explanations on copyrights and various income streams for your music.

Narration

For Audible the narration is too fast and does not give a professional delivery! It appears it was just being read as fast as possible to get through the task! May suit others but not myself! Sorry!
