After launching his portable music player Pono in January of 2015, Neil Young now says that he plans on launching a new streaming service. Young said that smartphones would be Pono’s first target, despite iPhone’s internal chips not currently being compatible with Pono’s high-quality sound. “We’re pushing towards getting a presence in phones,” Young told Rolling Stone, before revealing that he is working with an unnamed Singaporean company on a method to “maintain our quality level when we go to streaming.” Pono was “designed and engineered in a ‘no-compromise’ fashion to allow consumers to experience studio master-quality digital music at the highest audio fidelity possible, bringing the true emotion and detail of the music, the way the artist recorded it, to life.” Pono also exists as a high-quality file download store, similar to Apple’s iTunes store.
