"Music sound quality has been dumbed down to Fisher-Price toy levels since the inception of the iPod. "



Apple has killed audio quality, says Neil Young.

This is an update on a previous post.

In related news,

Roger Daltrey, saying "the scrapping of long-play records signaled the death of the music industry", has this to add:

"The CD was a confidence trick. It wasn't just music that people used to buy, it was a total art form. ... I think that's what people like. They like it personal. They like vinyl because if you scratch vinyl, it'll be scratched, but it'll be your scratch. It will only be on your record."

Perhaps Mr. Young's ears have evolved to a point where he can hear frequencies of the sound spectrum that are inaudible to the average human ear... or maybe he's just a kook.
