I was impressed and excited with this book until I got to Chapter 3, where I discovered that I needed a Windows machine in order to build the "multi-platform", Soundtrack Manager. There was no mention on the cover, that in order to run the code on the accompanied CD, you need Windows.
I'm a composer/sound designer, and I happen to use a Macintosh like many other musicians, producers etc.
There is still useful information, but I was very disappointed that I couldn't build the Soundtrack Manager which the book is pretty much all about.
I'm sure it's a great book for Windows users.
