You divert, and bring in left field topics, and tangents galore. This is clearly your pattern.
Give it a break.
If you don't understand that Neil Young running a download store is a major thing, then you are playing dumb, or you really are clueless.
Neil Young has personal relationships with just about every major rock and pop artist out there. They are smelling what he is cooking and now want to take control of how their fans hear their recordings.
You really are not a big picture guy.
"We already have hi-res download stores."

Read that article I linked to. The entire article. It gives a good alternative view and questions why one would need Pono at all.

That is exactly one of the major points brought up in the article I linked to.
I've read the article. It has been linked everywhere.
There are valid points, but it is cynical as hell..and I can't believe I am saying that, since I am cynical as hell!!
The fact is at CES, RMAF, and in the mainstream media they are talking about Pono. They are not talking about Qobuz. Not talking about HDTracks. Not talking about Superhirez.
Let me repeat, I don't give a damn about the player. I would rather put $400 up in a bonfire to keep me warm, and god knows it is cold as hell. But I do give a damn about providing incentives for labels and artists to release their best sounding masters.
Listen to the CSNY 1974 192 release...it is stunning..and that is how all archival releases should sound.
One might have assumed that CSNY 1974 in hi-res would be a perfect launch title for the Pono music store, but it's only there in 44.1/16.
Agree, but it is coming.
CSN ('77) is there is 24/192!
I think its available on a CD/DVD set.
..Blu Ray for the 192 I believe.
.
but I've yet to type in an artist that didn't return at least a few albums. I thought I's finally stump Pono with "Sarah Harmer" but they actually have all of her albums that I'm aware of.
I'm not worried about the depth of the catalog..it will grow.
Record companies chase trends, and if putting titles on Pono gets them exposure they will do it.
