Neil Young’s Righteous PonoMusic and US$200 PonoPlayer Kickstarter - The Hills are alive with the Sound of FLAC Music despite HD Music being a new phenomenon with new packaging

It seems since Platinum selling R&B Artiste Beyonce aka Queen B decided to release her album sans any pre-marketing hype as explained in my blog article entitled “Beyonce's latest album released entirely on Apple iTunes - Queen Bee's Cornucopia Breaking Bad iTunes records via an efficient Music Delivery monetizing Music Videos eye-Candy” that interest in alternative Music Deliver models has blossomed!

Folks, if you’ve been visiting Kickasstorrents recently, you’d have noticed that a new Category has popped up for FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec). And it’s growing strong as the Soul Train for HD Music picks up steam

This as FLAC MP3 formats render Music produced in the studio exactly as it was produced, something to which Music Purists and Audiophiles and persons like myself can relate. Already, I’ve gone through at least US$50 wasted on finding the perfect headsets for my MP3 player, but they turned out to be very sub-par. Truly, the best headphones are Beat by Dr. Dre, again something to which Apple cannot lay claim. 

So it’s only logical that someone would aim to create the best Music player.

And that person was Rocker Neil Young, who back in April 2012 filed trademarks for his idea of a Righteous Music Distribution model and Music Player combination as stated in “Rocker Neil Young challenging MP3s with new audio format”, published April 4, 2012 4:25 PM PDT by Daniel Terdiman, CNET News for what’s now known as the Neil Young’s Kickstarter project for the Pono Music and its associated Hardware the Pono Player!

For those with an eye for languages, “pono” is Hawaiian for “Righteous” and that what pure, unaltered Music straight from the studio without anything removed is: Righteous

The Net’s abuzz with the apparently newly rediscovered idea of HD (High Definition) Music Players, more specifically Neil Young’s Kickstarter project for the Pono Music and its associated Hardware the Pono Player as stated in “Neil Young's PonoMusic hits Kickstarter”, published March 11, 2014 11:07 AM PDT by Ty Pendlebury, CNET Reviews and “NEIL YOUNG’S PONO HITS KICKSTARTER AT $200, AUDIOPHILES CLAMOR TO GET ON BOARD”, published March 11, 2014 By Caleb Denison, DigitalTrends.

Neil Young’s Kickstarter project for the Pono Music with some 28 days to go, has already blasted past the US$$800,000 goal, with some 12,140 propelling the amount garnered thus far to US$4,081,335 as stated in “iPod killer tops $1M on Kickstarter in first day”, published MAR 12, 2014 AT 6:30 AM By Chris Smith, BGR.

Folks, we may be looking at a serious contender to Apple iTunes and the Apple iPod as explained in my blog article entitled “Apple iWatch and Apple iRadio coming in the Second Quarter of 2013 - Battery life innovations needed to power the Evil Dead for Apple iCloud Streaming”.

These folks, mostly audiophiles, who are serious about their Music and not necessarily fans of Apple, look as if they're willing to pay for their Music from the PonoMusic Store.

Why everyone’s crazy about FLAC – HD Music not a new phenomenon, just new packaging

So why have the Americans seemingly gone mad over HD Music as it’s now being touted? 

Partially because it’s an answer to the low quality lossy Music formats that lose much of its essence in much the same way Vanilla, Orange Juice or any Farm fruit isn’t as pure as when it was harvested from the Tree as explained in “ROCKIN’ IN THE HD WORLD: EXPLAINING NEIL YOUNG’S SHOCKINGLY SUCCESSFUL PONOPLAYER”, published March 14, 2014 By Caleb Denison, DigitalTrends.

Mainly thanks to some good marketing and names like Sting, Marc Ford, Eddie Vedder, Rick Rubin, Jack White and Arcade Fire supporting the PonoMusic Store and the PonoMusic Player, Neil Young’s Kickstarter project for the Pono Music has been propelled to a level of success it’s enjoying. 

Finally Americans are realize that all those years of poor-quality MP3 that don’t sound very good when played in your Car Stereo or Home Theatre System at home was mainly due to a need back in the 90’s to make Music formats more portable and Music players cheaper due to the high cost of memory back then.

MP3 formats played on your expensive Apple iPod sound nothing like these WAV files ripped off your CD’s and converted to FLAC, the only legal way to get FLAC Files using Exact Audio Copy as explained in “How to rip your Music CDs to FLAC”, published April 19, 2012 9:29 AM PDT by Ed Rhee, CNET News.

But with Memory prices dropping and 500GB and 1TB SATA Hard-Drives now being the norm, and that much space going to waste, the time is ripe for the Musical Renaissance for HD Music. HD Music promises Music formats with higher sampling rates of 192kHz and Bit depth as high 24 bits that preserve Music as originally produced in the studio and render it through your now improving Headphones at the quality that you wanna hear.

Neil Young’s Kickstarter project for the Pono Music and PonoMusic Player is truly Righteous!
