At Fortune's Brainstorm Tech Conference this week, Neil Young accused companies, including Apple, of choosing convenience over quality when it comes to music delivery to consumers calling the quality of music sound being delivered via iPods, iTunes, MP3s and more. The music legend said, “Apple has taken a detour down the convenience highway,” Young told the Brainstorm audience after taking the stage for an interview with Time Inc. editor-in-chief John Huey. “Quality has taken a complete backseat - if it even gets in the car at all.”
While I'm sure Young's comments won't have an immediate impact in the popularity of iPods, MP3s and the companies that deliver them such as Apple, but it will draw attention to his plight to improve the quality of sound they deliver. Perhaps in time, we'll see a shift in consumer demand from convenience to quality likened to the shift from LPs to CDs or VHS to DVD and so on.
Neil Young has a point. Will consumers hear him and demand better? Will Apple and other providers listen?
What do you think?
