Neil Young calls out Tidal


TIDAL is calling their files of my songs Masters. But TIDAL’s MQA files are not my masters. I make my masters - not TIDAL. I made my masters the way I wanted them to sound. If TIDAL referred to their titles as TIDAL MASTERS, I would have no problem, but they don’t. They call them Masters. I had my music removed from that platform. They are not my masters.”.

If you can get your hands on the BluRay release of Neil Young Archives Vol. I you’ll find the sound as good as it gets.
big disappointment to me he abandoned that format.

There's been a rumor for years that Tidal is hurting. So what! Who listens to Neil Young with all of his ranting on politics and audio? Not me. As for Tidal/Qobuz, I find Tidal to have better SQ, as well as MQA albums over Qobuz and Amazon. Now with the Best Buy discount, that much better

Maybe he’s just petty and jealous because his audiophile alternative failed...

Love Neil but he can be a little judgmental sometimes.  Don't we all as we get older?

Vinyl is forever! (unless you melt it or damage it yourself). He rereleased all his best albums on vinyl a couple years ago and they sound great.

Neil is quite grumpy, but he's an old man. He should have a better outlook being married to Darryl Hannah. Don't know what Jackson Browne was thinking....
