Synopsis
Turning what could be a doomed-to-be-dull topic--the 30-year decline of an industry--into a chatty, anecdotal narrative, Rolling Stone writer Steve Knopper rubber necks his readers through the self-inflicted tragedy of the music industry. Going back to a 1979 decline in sales that followed disco's waning popularity, Knopper follows the oft-loathed music industry's series of bad decisions in confronting changing technology and listening culture--from the advent of the compact disc to the burgeoning of internet culture; from the popularity of Napster to the success of iTunes. The breadth and depth of his interviews evidence his extensive time spent on the ground with this issue as a journalist.

Publisher's Note
"A detailed account of the music industry's dramatic thirty-year struggle through the digital age takes readers from the birth of the CD format and the meteoric rise in music sales to the emergence of Napster and the era of iTunes, offering insight into how the industry is suffering from infighting and a decline in CD purchasing. 75,000 first printing."

Industry Reviews
"Knopper, a Rolling Stone music business writer, thoughtfully reports on the record racket's slow, painful march into financial ruin and irrelevance...Knopper piles on examples of incompetence, making a convincing case..."
(01/22/2009)

"Thoroughly researched and engaging, with a spitfire pace as rhythmic as its subject."
(11/15/2008)

"Knopper is a dedicated reporter, and he's done his fresh-interview homework."
(01/28/2009)
