4Great reading despite proprietary reader software  Nov 18, 2009 By Cantonman "Cantonman"
What a blast from the past. The material can't be faulted. The software isn't horrible but I didn't really want another "reader" on my computer. I tried different readers from the one on the disk set. They didn't open the files on the DVDs despite being able to read ".djvu" files. Software on DVD apparently MUST be installed to read files.
Anyway, once installed, the reading process is enjoyable and not terribly slow. There is good magnification potential and some intuitive, common-sense keyboard shortcuts. Image quality seems a bit washed-out but readable. Forget printing pages to PDF. Results were low-res and moireed. Am resigned to having another piece of crapware on my computer but it's worth it to read all the great articles. Recommended.

3No dice on Windows 7, but great content  May 28, 2010 By Gregory "greg"
Despite my best efforts playing with Win 7's compatibility tools, I couldn't get it to run. So, I installed it on my XP machine. It's a little slow, but he reader really has nice navigation tools, allowing you to follow the articles even as they jump around the pages of the magazine.

The content, particularly from the 60's and 70's, is among the best in the history of rock music. Essential for fans of music from that era. And, the pages are presented in their entirety, including the ads, which are fascinating. $1000 for a digital FM tuner! Ben Franklin's fart jokes!

We just need a software update.

3It is what it is  May 26, 2010 By Humble Servant
If you like RS, you'll like this set. If you don't, then don't buy it. I enjoyed looking back at issues I remembered growing up in the golden age of rock and roll. RS has gotten (perhaps always was) so caught up in its own self-importance, they take themselves way too seriously. A fish rots from the head, and RS has inhaled vigorously due to the leadership of Jann Wenner. Despite their ironic "all the news that fits" that's always what it has been - a lot of navel-studying by supercilious writers. But there are gems embedded - the work of HS Thompson & William Greider in particular. I enjoy looking back at their album reviews then looking in the RS Album Guide to see how they've modified their assessments based on the success of the artists. There is a lot of chaff, but their are kernels worth the effort of getting past the reader SW.

I got this at a Barnes & Noble store for $5 so I didn't venture the $20 Amazon wants. That made the re-reading of the interview with David Byrne, about voodoo - one of, if not the, worst interviews in publishing history - worth the price I paid.

1Worthless piece of software  Aug 21, 2010 By Rick H
I found this in a local cut-out store at an extremely cut-rate price. My OS is XP SP2 but the Bonsi Reader disc simply would not install. What it did was crash my computer twice. No biggie, I'm only out about the cost of a Mickey D's value meal but I surely cannot recommend this non-working software.


5Worth every penny.  Oct 01, 2010 By Dexbet "digbeesmith"
Good for an encyclopedic perspective as well as historical. From the 70's where many of the ads are for turntables and cartridges to cassette Walkmans in the 80's and onto portable CD players in the 90's on to MP3 players in the 00's. And the music that we play on them.
