Neil Young takes off his music from streaming services

The Canadian rock musician Neil Young rejected the breakdown of relations with streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music, as they “depreciate” his music.

Unlike other famous musicians (for example, Tom York and Taylor Swift ) who declared a boycott to streaming services due to the fact that they pay too little to beginners, as well as due to the fall of music sales on physical media, Yang removes his albums from Spotify and Apple Music because he is not satisfied with the quality of sound.

“For me, streaming is over. - He wrote on Facebook. “I do not want the most poorly broadcasts in history to depreciate my music.”

Young has developed his own Pono player, which provides higher characteristics of vocalization of audio recordings compared to common digital formats, recalls The Guardian . However, Young does not exclude a return to streaming if the situation with sound quality changes.

TheGizmodo blog observer called the actions of Yang “a crusade against common sense” and “blow to his own fans,” noting that his player is expensive and works with enormous audio files.
