  25. It's not because of the money on Neil Young Says His Music Is Too Good For Streaming Services · · Score: 1

    It's not because of the money, although my share (like all the other artists) was dramatically reduced by bad deals made without my consent.

    then stop dealing with the big record companies.

    It's about sound quality. I don't need my music to be devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution. I don't feel right allowing this to be sold to my fans. It's bad for my music. For me, It's about making and distributing music people can really hear and feel. I stand for that. When the quality is back, I'll give it another look. Never say never.

    put your music on Magnatune. then it can be heard in the lossless FLAC format. which is actually better than CDs if you use the 48k sample rate.
