5.0 out of 5 stars EVERY PAGE, EVERY ISSUE Aug 12 2010
By pbear6789
This product is exactly, and refreshingly, as advertised. EVERY PAGE OF EVERY ISSUE, from the first 40 years of Rolling Stone Magazine. It is very easy to use and read. It is search-able, with a more than adequate search engine. The only thing missing is internal hyperlinks, but there is no claim of such, so that is more of a wish that a complaint. As a research tool or just for fun, it works, and works well. Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reading despite proprietary reader software Nov 18 2009
By Cantonman - Published on Amazon.com

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars No dice on Windows 7, but great content May 27 2010
By Gregory - Published on Amazon.com
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars It is what it is May 26 2010
By Humble Servant - Published on Amazon.com
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.
