Title: Pono woes: Neil Young bemoans "lack of resources" for expanding the reach of the lossless music player Post by: HCK on August 26, 2015, 09:00:13 pm Pono woes: Neil Young bemoans "lack of resources" for expanding the reach of the lossless music player
<article> <section class="page"> <p>Neil Young’s music startup Pono is running into money problems as it tries to spread the gospel of high-fidelity music.</p><p>In a Facebook post (https://www.facebook.com/NeilYoung/posts/10155900378645317:0), Young said the company has shipped “tens of thousands” of its PonoPlayers (http://www.techhive.com/article/2105783/neil-youngs-pono-hi-fi-music-player-revealed-400-for-128-gb-no-drm.html), which cost $400 and aim to replicate the sound quality of original master recordings. (Roughly 15,000 of those buyers presumably came from Pono’s Kickstarter campaign (http://www.techhive.com/article/2107441/neil-youngs-pono-music-player-blasts-past-kickstarter-goal.html).) Pono users have also purchased “hundreds of thousands” of tracks from the company’s online store, where audio quality ranges from 44.1kHz/16-bit up to 192kHz/24-bit.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2975837/software-music/pono-woes-neil-young-bemoans-lack-of-resources-for-expanding-the-reach-of-the-lossless-music-player.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Pono woes: Neil Young bemoans "lack of resources" for expanding the reach of the lossless music player (http://www.macworld.com/article/2975837/software-music/pono-woes-neil-young-bemoans-lack-of-resources-for-expanding-the-reach-of-the-lossless-music-player.html#tk.rss_all) |
