Young's anecdote underscores what music geeks have been saying for a decade: The iPod isn't an audiophile device, and hardware and software have reached the point where we can build something better.
The late Apple CEO, famously a music-lover and audiophile, preferred to listen to vinyl records instead of digital files. According to Young, even Jobs himself wasn't satisfied with the sound quality of the iPod. >"Steve Jobs was a digital pioneer, but when he went home, he listened to vinyl." - Neil Youngīut MP3s weren't good enough for Steve Jobs. But for most of us, MP3s are good enough. They're not as good as the CD version, and far inferior to an analog source like a high-quality vinyl pressing or original master tapes. Young is giving a popular voice to a problem that audiophiles, recording artists and even careful listeners have long felt - that the MP3s in your iTunes library don't do the original recordings justice. "We live in the digital age, and unfortunately it's degrading our music, not improving."
