Computer Audio and the Web are the two hottest scenes in the world right now, and guess what? They're coming together like two runaway freight trains. Mangled under the wheels will be various once-lucrative business models, as well as some of our assumptions about music and entertainment. The technology's moving forward like a TGV through the Chunnel, so come along for the ride as I explain how to add sound to Web sites, distribute music (or speech or whatever) over the Internet, and expand your musical consciousness.
