Last year I read about Neil Young's meetings with Steve Jobs. Before Steve Jobs retired due to heath reasons it looked like the iTunes store was going to start offering 24 bit music files at a higher price. It now looks like it won't happen anytime soon. There are at least a couple of dozen sites offering 24 bit music files.

As far as download time Neil Young recommends downloading overnight. I have done that, however I usually download high resolution music files while watching prime time TV (8-11 PM)

Here are some of my favorite quotes from the interview:

"Ears are the window to the soul."
"the iTunes store offers only 5% of the data present in the original recording."
"95% of the soul of the music is missing."
"Let the people have 100%"
"Steve Jobs was a pioneer of digital music, and his legacy is tremendous, but when he went home, he listened to vinyl."
"And you've got to believe that if he'd lived long enough, he would have done what I'm trying to do."

It really is too bad for us music lovers that Steve Jobs died of cancer. I have no doubt if Apple offered 24 bit downloads, so would Amazon and other major music sellers.
