Neil Young Begins His Long Quest Towards True Audio Fidelity With Pono, A New Music Service And Device

Singer-songwriter-rocker Neil Young has been talking about problems with modern audio codecs for decades. He was angry at CDs back in the 1990s and most recently he lashed out against MP3s and digital audio compression at a popular tech conference, saying "My goal is to try to rescue the art form that Ive been practicing for the past 50 years. We live in the digital age and, unfortunately, its degrading our music, not improving it Its not that digital is bad or inferior, its that the way its being used isnt doing justice to the art. The MP3 only has 5 percent of the data present in the original recording. The convenience of the digital age has forced people to choose between quality and convenience, but they shouldnt have to make that choice.
