Hard to believe there is so much negativity. He released it on Vinyl as that is the ultimate sound as he's been saying.  You can bet it will be for sale to download after Pono goes live.  

Neil Young released a new album this weekend in vinyl only.

They don't accept anything but the euro.

I'm interested in knowing if many people use the site...JRiver.com...for music downloads, etc.  What are the pros and cons?

That's a French site.  

If reasons I won't bore you with I need to be able to download single cuts (songs) and while amazon would be perfect I believe they are all MP3.

The rule has always been to use the highest % on speakers (headphones) followed by amp and source. One can always upgrade the extra equipt.

My reason for liking PONO Neil Young has to do with the fact that at the present you cannot find popular music for download that is not MP3.  All I want to be able to do is download music that is at least CD quality.  The only music available is stuff that record stores used to practically give...

Thanks that's a good list but none of those sites has so called popular music.  If you want Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys, etc you are out of luck.  

I'm familiar with that one but they only sell albums, would be nice to find a place that sells singles.  

Which online sites provide music uploads of CD quality or better?

Only a double blind will tell who's right.

Speaking of wasting money I know someone who had a super audio set-up and he was so concerned about the electricity he had the power company run a dedicated line into his house just for the audio.  

Those are excellent points.  I would never have heard of it if I hadn't seen Neil Young on CNBC talking about it.  For years I have hated the fact so many young people had never heard real music just MP3.  I was not aware that people could download hi-res music.  It may not be the first but it...

Thanks, that's what I figured.
