Now that digital cameras and music players have become so incredibly widespread, a forest of sound and imagery is blossoming in our homes. We’ve got digital pictures in the camera, scans on the computer, JPEGS attached to e-mails, and tunes on tiny players. But there’s also the old-fashioned stuff: photos in shoeboxes, videos in the attic, documents in desk drawers, songs on tape and vinyl. How do you transform all of these different elements into a convenient archive you can store in your computer, easily reach, and actually enjoy? This book delivers basic step-by-step instruction on streamlining and organizing your “digital life” so you can find what you need instantly and create presentations your friends and family will love. In addition, you’ll be amazed at the decrease in household clutter and paper waste.

For everyone —from teenagers who thrive on the technical to families with overflowing photo albums and seniors who’d love to collate decades’ worth of letters and pictures —this reader-friendly source has all the answers. These easy-to-follow solutions can truly enhance and simplify the hectic, over-saturated lives so many of us find ourselves leading today.

    Phenomenal resource
    I’ve eagerly awaited the release of this new book, as it appears to be the only source of information in book form to deal with its topics. And it deals with them superbly. Digital immigrants like myself who have an avid interest in photography and music will easily come away from every page of ORGANIZE YOUR DIGITAL LIFE having learned something both interesting and helpful. It offers time-saving tips, uses clear terminology, is well-organized, has a good index, and explains IPTC, WAV, SATA, RAID, DNG, and many other acronyms. In addition, it offers a slew of websites, brand-names, illustrations, and helpful advice and cautions. Another plus is the physical makeup of the book: glossy paper, clear type, nice graphics, eye-appealing layout. Looking for help with backing up photos, storage options, finding an online community for your photos, online radio, or converting prints, negatives, analog cassettes, and VHS into digital files? Here’s the source. Wanting to learn more about organizing your digital files? Here’s the source.The problem with this book? It will be out-of-date sooner than readers would like, given the fast-changing nature of our digital world. But that is the ONLY problem with this clear, articulate, well-organized, helpful title. Congratulations to National Geographic and to Aimee Baldridge for offering such a fine resource.

    Definitely a must read to get your analog & digital life organized!
    I’m in awe of this book! I was spinning my wheels trying to find a definitive reference/resource guide to help me make progress. It’s now my Bible in helping me set-up my photo restoration & organization business. While it includes some great checklists, I’m creating even more to cover pertinent info and considerations not included in the others. The resource links are extremely helpful and a tremendous time-saver in finding vendors with which to purchase services, equipment and supplies. If I used a highlighter while I read the book the first time, almost all of the pages would’ve been yellow. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this book! You won’t be disappointed if you purchase it.

    Images way to small
    Did not think the book covered the material well. Not a lot of useful information in my opinion. The graphics in the Kindle version (tables, etc not pictorial graphics) was way to small to read.

    For Beginners
    If your just getting into the digital age, then this could help. If you already know how things work, its not for you. It does cover everything from old tech to new tech.

    Organize your digital life
    Have always been a rather messy hoarder and suffered much frustration at not being able to find things. Now frustration is at an end and this book is teaching me to be better organised.

    I resent having to give a book a bad review but this superficial fluff deserves nothing more. It’s supposed to be a complete guide to digital lifestyles but is so lightweight the digital enthusiast will feel short changed and the aspiring one, baffled. I ended up posting it on eBay but even then there were no takers! Anyone keen to learn more should instead consider a title like Mastering the Digital World (Carlton Books) which is much more complete and engaging. Sorry!
