Neil Young believes that it is time that we finally demand a much higher audio quality in digital music.
Neil Young is totally right, but the main issue is what a few people have mentioned in the comments section - the loudness war. People need to spread the word on this as much as possible.
Speculation about Neil Young's super-high-resolution music player has been making the rounds on the Internet for more than a year, but it seems that the musician is serious about the device and that it will be released sometime next year.
Singer-songwriter and musician Neil Young said on Wednesday he won't allow his music to be streamed any more, not because of disputes over royalties, but rather over poor sound quality.
"I don’t need my music to be devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution", the Canadian rocker said in a post on his Facebook page. "I don’t feel right allowing this to be sold to my fans. It’s bad for my music."
