Here’s a heads-up about a forthcoming book I’m involved with. Spotify For Dummies is a “fun and friendly guide” that walks you through how best to use Spotify. Due out in October, it’s available for pre-order now from amazon.com and amazon.co.uk.

Covering everything from using Spotify on smartphones to creating and sharing your own playlists, Spotify For Dummies has it all. Experienced author Kim Gilmour details the ins and outs of this revolutionary music application, from installing and setup to discovering new artists and taking your musical enjoyment to new levels.

• Explores the social networking aspects of Spotify and how to integrate with them
• Helps you navigate through the various editions of Spotify
• Shows you how to take Spotify with you on your mobile device
• Encourages you to merge your own music collection with Spotify

Spotify For Dummies also features The Pansentient League and a host of other Spotify community sites, including ShareMyPlaylists and Spotibot.com. I’ve been helping Kim and the team make sure this book is technically accurate which has been great fun, and meant I got to see the book’s content before anyone else 😉 Kim has done a fantastic job applying the for dummies approach to Spotify, and she knows her subject so well I even picked up a few new tips myself!

Kim has also just launched a twitter account to accompany the book: be sure to follow @Spotify4Dummies for her tips and news.
