THEY have upset the establishment but delighted millions of consumers and now no one knows quite what to do with them.

But the music website is definitely here to stay despite some high-profile heavy-arm legal cases and dire threats about musicians' livelihoods.

The unstoppable wave now sees the Internet littered with sites offering free music, fan information and opportunities for artists to reach a wider audience than ever before.

In a bid to cope with this, next month sees the launch of a new book designed to make it easier for people looking for the latest sounds.

The Good Web Guide will be an ideal stocking filler for anyone who wants to know their knapsters (www.knapster.com) from their hip-hop (www.hip_hop.com) and The Cyber Space has got hold of five copies to be won by readers.

The guide gives readers the website addresses for people ranging from Bjork (www.bjork.com to Madonna who has plenty of sites including the comprehensive unofficial site www.madonnaland.com.)

The book also gives the best sources for free MP3 downloads - the most common format used to make audio possible on the Internet.

And there is a simple advice section on getting started with tips on hardware and an essential checklist of do's and don'ts.

For beginners to the web, the guide also includes a handy glossary of Internet terms which are just as helpful for general searching as for music.

The Internet really does have music for every taste but the sheer volume of websites can make searching daunting which is why this guide (also at www.music.thegoodwebguide.

co.uk) could be a great first stop.

The Good Web Guide, by Mary-Louise Harding is published on December 4 for £4.99.

The competition has now closed.
