Neil Young plans massive online archive



Three months after Neil Young first revealed his plans for a new high-definition streaming service, the singer detailed his upcoming digital archives, which will feature both Young's entire catalog as well as soon-to-be-completed “unreleased albums”.
“Every single, recorded track or album I have produced is represented,” the singer wrote in a note posted on the Neil Young Archives website, which will allow users to virtually stroll Young's catalogue from 1963 to now.
“View all albums currently released and see albums still unreleased and in production just by using the controls to zoom through the years. Unreleased album art is simply penciled in so you can where unreleased albums will appear on the timeline, once they are completed.”
One such lost LP will likely include Young's just-announced “Hitchhiker”, an all-acoustic LP that he recorded in 1976 but never released.
Young, a longtime critic of digital music quality, also explained how the Xstream Music – a high resolution “adaptive streaming service” – will vary the quality of the stream depending on the bandwidth the user has available.
