If you've kept up with Neil Young, you know that he has been on a Quixotic campaign against Mp3s. Only in Neil's case when you say "Quixotic," he's not riding a horse, no, he's driving a vintage car that he restored himself, and instead of a lance, he's got a vintage guitar, probably Old Black, in the back seat, waiting to be plugged into an old Fender Deluxe, and instead of battling windmills he's battling crappy sound files!
He invented the Pono sound system which is basically higher resolution sound files, that provide a "studio quality" sound and special player that can store and play the files. When I read about Neil's effort in his book, I wondered if it was all a lost cause, but this is a good first step: "Neil Young Reaches $800,000 Pono Music Kickstarter Goal in 1 Day!"
Remarkable. Maybe Neil is onto something! Hope so!
