"Soon my music will live on in a better place," Young wrote, pointing fans toward Amazon and Apple Music. In the new letter, he takes a detour to mention Spotify's low streaming quality, calling it an "upside" for his fans that they can to find his extensive back catalogue elsewhere in higher quality. At the time, he launched a streaming hardware device and accompanying music service called Pono designed specifically for high quality audio. Back in 2015, he threatened to remove his music from Spotify and other platforms over complaints that they reduced the quality of his recordings. This isn't Young's first time clashing with streaming services. Playlist 50 songs 52. "Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule."
Young made countless headlines this week after demanding Spotify remove his music from the streaming service due to the Spotify-exclusive podcast The Joe Rogan Experience and its track record of spreading COVID misinformation. "I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them," he wrote in a letter first reported by Rolling Stone. Neil Young and his dispute with Spotify has led to some very interesting discourse within the rock community. Young announced the intention to pull his music in a since-deleted open letter to his management team and label.
