In a short time (even by Internet standards) MP3-a complicated digital music-encoding algorithm-has changed the dynamics of music distribution. "MP3.com proves that file-based digital music distribution could radically restructure the way we select music and choose our stars," says Scot Hacker, author of the just-released "MP3: The Definitive Guide" (O'Reilly, $29.95). "Most of the music we hear is handed to us by the recording industry, and that industry treats music exclusively as a business. But amazing people making amazing music are all around us." "I may be a hopeless idealist, but I believe that great music will bubble to the top on its own merits. We will discover great music, we'll tell our friends, and before long, the charts will be topped by artists chosen by listeners rather than pushed by record labels," says Hacker. "Don't get me wrong. I don't think music and money are mutually exclusive. Far from it. I believe artists should be supported by culture, and that culture should be supported by society. The MP3 revolution might-just might-get us there, or at least part of the way there. For the first time in history, artists and musicians can potentially be heard by anyone on the planet with Web access, and those artists don't need any part of the recording industry to make it happen." Hacker's "MP3: The Definitive Guide" introduces the power-user to all aspects of MP3 technology. It delves into detail on obtaining, recording, and optimizing MP3 files using both commercial and Open Source methods, and covering four platforms: Windows, Macintosh, Linux and BeOS. In-depth chapters describe all aspects of the MP3 experience from distributing, streaming, broadcasting, converting and playing to archiving your collection. It shows you how to test your equipment, optimize your encoding times, evaluate playback options, control and organize a collection, even burn your own CD's or distribute your own music to a massive worldwide audience over the Internet. In addition, the author fills readers in on the complex legal issues surrounding MP3 files. Everything you need to know to enjoy MP3 is contained in this single volume.

Today, Andover.Net (NASDAQ:ANDN), the Internet's leading Linux destination, announced that it will sponsor the first-of-its-kind Geek Pride Festival being held in Boston from March 31 through April 1. The Festival, presented by Andover.Net in association with Switchouse, the leading online trading community for swapping consumer goods, is designed to incorporate all aspects of a typical Geek's life--music, culture, games and technology--into two fun-filled days in Boston, the birthplace of the Technology Revolution. Everyone is invited to take advantage of this uniquely Geeky gathering. This year's Festival promises free concerts, Quake and trivia tournaments, food, drinks and limitless networking opportunities. Hard-core Geeks can also take a break from the festivities to attend lectures by uber-Geeks including Rob Malda, founder of Slashdot , the "News for Nerds: Stuff that Matters" Website; Alex Pentland, academic head of MIT's Media Lab; Christopher Locke and David Weinberger, authors of ClueTrain Manifesto; and Eric S. Raymond, author of the Linux bible, The Cathedral and the Bazaar. "Andover.Net is a resource run by Geeks for Geeks, so we support this Festival 100%," said Bruce Twickler, president and CEO of Andover.Net. "Members of the so-called Geek community are responsible for the incredible technological advances that we all benefit from in our everyday lives. They work hard, and they deserve this great party in their honor." Be There...And Be Square! >From behind their computers and out of their garages they shall emerge--the Geek Pride Festival is where the world of Geekdom will collide with the world at large. The Festival will kick off at 7:00 PM on March 31 at the Modern Lounge located at 36 Landsdowne Street in Boston (a short walk from the Kenmore subway station on the MBTA Green Line). Switchouse will be hosting the Geek Swap Party--the kickoff event where Geeks can enjoy free food and drinks while swapping music, games, movies, books and code. On April 1 at the Park Plaza Castle located at 130 Columbus Avenue in Boston, the Festival will rock on from 11:00 AM until midnight. Scheduled attractions include: The Soapbox: Come listen to the Festival's featured speakers, selected for their geekiness as well as their contributions to the Geek community. The Soundboard: Jam to live music from cutting-edge bands and electronic musicians. After the Festival, visit GeekPride.org for free MP3 distributions. The Arena: Put your geekiest skills to the test in the Stump The Geek trivia contest and Quake III gaming tournament. The Midway: Eat, drink, be merry and surf the Web. Become Neo in Matrix(TM)-inspired Nerf(TM)battles. Both nights of the Festival will also offer The Peepshow--a midnight movie showing at the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline. For additional details, please visit www.geekpride.org. Once Upon a Time... The concept for the Geek Pride Festival was developed in April 1998. Tim McEachern, host of the Geek Nation radio show in Spencertown, New York, decided that Geeks deserved some recognition for all those hours they spend hunched over keyboards and code. Based on this concept, he organized a Geek Pride Day in Albany, New York--he wanted to start off small to determine whether or not the world was ready for an all-out Geekfest. The event was extremely well received, so McEachern decided that the Geeks needed something even better. And the Geek Pride Festival was born. "The Geek Pride Festival is a celebration of intelligence, technology and great people," said McEachern. "When Geeks get together, it's a real hoot! I'm looking forward to the Festival in Boston, and hope that we can bring the party to other technology centers around the United States, and eventually, around the world." No Geek Shall Be Turned Away All Geeks (and non-Geeks) are invited to the Festival free of charge. To register for the event, go to the Festival's Web site at www.GeekPride.org. All sign-ups will be entered into a drawing for giveaways including products and merchandise from O'Reilly, ChickClick, Heat.net, Extreme Coffee and more.
