It looks like Neal is putting his money where his mouth is.
Good for him, hopefully good for everybody.

Yeah, I look forward to seeing (hearing) where this goes.  Here's an earlier discussion http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=105137.0

Have fun,

Acc'd to published reports (I think it was WSJ), he is introducing a file delivery system for redbook and hi-res. Not new file formats for music.

Neil has been my favorite artist since Buffalo Springfield and one of the artists that I tune my system too. I have his blu-ray collection of music. It's brilliant. Often when I give it a play, there's more content to download. He pioneered that idea yet I don't see many others following along. Maybe sales aren't that good?

Neil bought a ranch I believe in 1969-1970 a few miles from where I work. He still lives there. Amazes me.
Oh ya, it came with an "Old Man". 

This is something I'll be keeping my eye out on.

No offense, Steve, but it's "Neil" not "Neal".

Being discussed in many threads here..

The articles about his download service are a little confusing.  There is some speculation that the formats will be new (i.e compressed like FLAC, but compatible with non-FLAC players???  Dunno...).   Intro'ing a new format is a slippery slope.  We do not need new formats, we need standards and some traction.

I stand corrected, my apologies to Mr. Young. 
This must be what had Ms. Manley so excited about the future of recorded music; I hope it pans out.
