Neil Young’s Lonely Quest to Save Music

One reason I have never really used Spotify even though it has a huge database.
The SQ is way below Qobuz hires service, as it should be though at $25 a month ... Lol.

My daughter must have 15,000 songs on her iPad and all it takes up is a few GB, I cannot even listen to it!

Spotify does a nice job of building playlists, better than Tidal, and Qobuz doesn't really offer anything customized to your listening habits.  I listen to it in the car. 

I don't have a killer car stereo and it's fine there.  I also listen to Pandora as background or workout music. 

I'm glad that there are services like Tidal and Qobuz for when I want to do some serious listening.

I wonder how good Neil's hearing is now at 73 after spending most of his life on stage.  Not that you need to have golden ears to notice some of the things he's lamenting, like compression.

I admit I do use Pandora and have done for years but just when travelling and playback through my laptop in the hotel.

Built up some killer stations over the years, something that I agree neither Tidal or Qobuz seem to got a handle on yet.

I usually stream Qobuz from my phone to any rental car I have via Bluetooth and it's fine in the car which is always background music tbh.

At home it is nearly always Qobuz hirez.

At home I listen to Qobuz more than anything else, unless I can't find something, then I go to Tidal.  I can use it in my car too, but Spotify is a little more user friendly.  It's integrated with Waze, which I use all the time and it's also on the touch screen panel on the Kenwood music player in my truck.

I saw Neil Young and the old members of Buffalo Springfield play at the Bridge School Benefit a few years ago. He was still married to his ex so must have been 5 years ago. I think Pearl Jam also played with Neil that day (or year before).  Anyways, Young was still an excellent performer back then.
