Neil Young's complete archive is absolutely free until end of June 2018.

This includes his first song all the way up to his latest album "The visitor" which was released on Friday.

Take advantage of this amazing offer. Buying this on discs will cost you quite a bit (e.g. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/111610)

After June 2018 there will be a fee although NY calls it a "modest fee".

Enjoy.

P.S.: This is streaming. There are various add-ons for Chrome and Firefox to save the streams - up to you if you want to do that.

    Can you explain how we "get" the tracks to listen to?Do we stream them from that site only, with a Log In? I don't want to sign up to find out.
    I'm as lazy as butter is greasy.

      Do you want me to come to your house and stream them for you while also cooking dinner for you? ;-)

      Edit: Yes, streaming and a login is required.

        Yeah could you? That would be great! :p

        I just realised all 57 or so albums are on Spotify anyway. BUT, I wouldn't have learned that if it wasn't for this deal being posted. What are you cookin'….?

          Yeah, but all content from Spotify sounds like shit. I don't know why they compress the hell out of everything and make it all boomy, but every single one of my CD rips sounds infinitely better than the Spotify versions.

          Streaming sucks.

          @peteru: It's 320kbps as a premium subscriber mate. If it sounds compressed you are either a free user or haven't changed the settings on your device.

          @Flyerone:

          I'm talking about dynamic compression and equalisation. Same shit that radio stations do to make things sound louder. The equivalent of the loudness button on a car stereo.

        • edwardcr on 05/12/2017 - 00:25

          @Flyerone:

          "It's 320kbps…If it sounds compressed…"

          But 320kbps IS compressed, and it sounds like it.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2017 - 07:25

          @peteru: maybe you have track normalisation turned on? Spotify sounds just fine to me across a range of styles and albums I'm familiar with, including a bunch of tracks I've played on or helped produce.

          @edwardcr: I call bullshit. Blind tests have proven it time and time again. You aren't picking 320 from flac without spectral analysis. And flac is also compressed. Can you hear the difference between that and wav?

        • edwardcr on 05/12/2017 - 11:58

          @Flyerone:

          320 is compressed and lossy - Flac is compressed and lossless, identical to the source on spectral analysis.

          And whether you can tell the the difference between 320 and Flac depends on many things - especially the system you're listening on.

          On my computer or the low end audio system in my study, no. On my $20000 main audio system, yes. But I can't tell the difference between Flac and Wav.

          Blind tests aren't always foolproof - they have been known to result in showing two identical Flac recordings as better than each other, or two wav files for that matter!

          For storing standard CDs on my HD, I use Flac level 5 - for storing DVD Audio, I use Flac level 0, which gives me the same bit rate as the original.

        • edwardcr on 05/12/2017 - 13:24

          @edwardcr:
          For some reason I can't edit my post.

          I should have said Flac Lossless Uncompressed - not Flac Level 0.

          Unless the equipment was faulty, those tests are valid, it's just that human hearing is not foolproof.
          Blind tests are the only valid test for audio compression that uses a psychoacoustic model.

          Well of course you want to hear a difference, otherwise you'd feel you had wasted a shit tonne of cash.

          Sorry, we can agree to disagree. On anything other than high fidelity gear playing classical music, no difference is going to be discernible.

    • grababargain on 04/12/2017 - 22:35

      Only streaming from PC not mobile. Use any email address to stream. Tried it yesterday and it worked.

    if he was serious it would be a flac download so you get quality and could then store and play on any device ….

      Pretty ironic isn't it? Can you still get FLAC versions for Pono LOL.

        original analogue recordings were vinyl.

      "If he was serious". Why should he give away all his music for free?

      • FabMan on 05/12/2017 - 00:07
        +2

        Because he criticised digital audio quality, insisting on promoting his product Pono that provided FLAC audio quality. By releasing it on anything but FLAC, he is admitting that other formats aren't as bad as he previously stated.

        • abacus on 05/12/2017 - 00:19

          Thanks FabMan. I'd never heard of Pono etc. http://www.noise11.com/news/r-i-p-pono-neil-young-kills-off-… .

          Seems he wanted to sell high res music, but it didn't work out. Now he is streaming low res music for free, probably hoping people will buy the high res version. I don't see the contradiction.

        • FabMan on 05/12/2017 - 01:29

          @abacus: I bet that is the reason too, thing is he stated he was 'saving' music from low quality digital distribution and was pushing for how we all need some FLAC in our lives. However, if he is giving low quality audio and it is so bad, how can anyone appreciate his amazing works?

          I don't think what he is doing is bad, just that he promoted how bad non FLAC is.

        • garage sale on 05/12/2017 - 05:35

          can always download it from youtube at 256k mp3 if quality isn't an issue.

    • edwardcr on 05/12/2017 - 00:23

      The complete collection of Neil's recordings in available from quite a few places in Flac versions - many in high definition.

      • rygle on 05/12/2017 - 10:20

        But these are probably mostly ripped from CD, where Neil Young wanted everyone to be able to buy his stuff in SACD quality encoded from the original at that quality, then later he moved to higher res releases.

        • edwardcr on 05/12/2017 - 12:05

          Probably 40% or so are available in 24/96, or in DVDA 24/192.

    Cheers. Although they've always been available on Spotify if people are subscribers. As far as I know it's a complete collection :-)

  • Sunshines bright on 05/12/2017 - 09:30

    I clicked and found I could sign in using my Facebook account so I did that to test this new fangled thing out. So far so good, quite interesting and the site says you can stream from a tablet too.. might work on a smart phone, not sure though.

  • Captain Howdy on 05/12/2017 - 10:11
