Christmas is coming early for Neil Young fans who will be treated to the upcoming release of his latest album and given access to an online archive of his entire music catalogue at the beginning of December. What’s more, the Canadian music legend revealed that the extensive Neil Young Archives (NYA) will be available to anyone free of charge, at least upon launch.

One of my favourite artists, diverse and even now you never know what he will come up with. Saw him in London last time around with Promise of the Real and they rocked out as good as I have ever seen him. Played for about 2 1/2 hours and would put a lot of younger bands to shame with his energy, not bad for 72 (?). Heard a rumour they will hit the road again next year.

Wasn't Young hard-core against MP3s and the like because of what he felt was the ruining of music with the compression, etc. ?

I believe he has a dedicated streaming app, that is probably lossless.

He was more against the common low sample rate mp3's (eg 128) that delivered 1/10 of the original music. He created the Pono player which is super high sampling of the original masters, but it never caught on.

I went in there last night and it is very cool! I started with the stuff from 1968 & 1969 that I grew up on, but there is so much there!

Thanks for this! Starting on song #1 (7/23/63) and going to let it spool out from there. With as much music as Neil has put out over the years, I expect it to take a LONG time to get through the entire archive!
