I used to advertise my Band-in-a-Box add-on products in that magazine, along with Music&Computers, Electronic Musician, Keyboard, and Guitar Player. As an advertiser I got free subscriptions, and enjoyed that. I subsibed to Electronic Musician (EM) before I started advertising, and in the early days, I learned a lot about making music on a computer thanks to that mag.

But the trade mags collapsed or went on-line and then went belly-up. As the classified ad sections got smaller and smaller, and less relevant, I quit advertising.

Being an advertiser, I got free subscriptions to a few other computer magazines that weren't even music related, and that I definitely never asked for. I remember getting IT magazine, and not knowing it stood for Information Technology.

But the golden age of magazines is long gone. The information we waited to come in our mailbox every month is now availble at the tip of our mouses (mice? does that still work with comuputers).

There are things I miss about the magazines when I think about it, but I suspect it's just nostalgia.
