I'm putting this in the Music Circle as I think it will apply to all of us.

I remember him pushing dvd-a pretty hard. That's when I started first getting interested in fidelity and bought a $200 Creative external 24bit soundcard which was an awesome card. It was Dvd-a compatible but i never upgraded my speakers because Creative said if I didn't buy expensive speakers i wouldn't be able to tell a difference. Which is bull. Anyway, that's my Neil Young story

I can't get it to display-can you give us a summary of what he said?

Yeah, it'll go over like a Led Zeppelin like last time... unless they find a spokesperson more currently-hip than Neil Young, no offense.

 Still cool though! We'll see what they unveil.

Good stuff. Good that Neil cares too.
To celebrate what might be coming according to Neil I am having a little Neil Young Radio MOGfest right here in my Denver hotel room. Red book quality that is!
 
Steve thanks for sharing.

How does he know that "in 2012 they will deliver"? Surely it costs almost the same amount to produce and deliver hi-rez as it does MP3s - assuming they are recorded with modern technology. They're just data files. It seems to me that what he (or anyone) needs to do is demonstrate to the record companies that consumers will respond positively if files are all priced the same - you are buying the music, not the format. Why does it take specialist companies to deliver hi-rez files? It makes no sense at all, 24/96 is not exactly difficult.

In the meantime... where did I put that record-cleaning brush...

He was the first major artist to come out and say that CDs were a wrong turn so I think that Mr. Young is worth listening to (pardon the pun).
