    Don't know if that video is showing actual product, but it looks like albums will be $18 each or $2 per song.

    Curious to find out what two albums members of PJ selected :-?
    I don't think it's necessarily two albums by the artist...but the "artist's top two favorite albums."

    I got a question, which I'm not sure any of you know but, if I have flac files or vinyl rips on my computer can these be transferred to Pono, or does Pono only allow music to be synced that is purchased?

    According to the FAQ on kickstarter, you can add your own music in FLAC, MP3 & pretty much any other audio format.

    399 will not be the actual retail price ofc at amazon and such places. But, 400 is nice. On the go I'm happy with MP3 and listeng through my Smartphone so I don't really need it.

    I've been waiting on this for a couple of years now. Even better that PJ is involved. In for the PJ edition.... can't wait to see their album picks.

    "There has been criticism of the idea of distributing music in this format from various people, including audio engineers, citing scientific studies that found no audible difference between 16-bit/48kHz and 24-bit/192kHz formats. Additionally, it is claimed that playing music in a 192kHz format may be detrimental to sound quality on many devices, since most audio hardware is designed for best performance with lower bandwidth signals."


    By the way, can it also play MP3/WAV format? Or only FLAC in this new Pono-format?

    Yes, you can and it will probably sound better on the PonoPlayer than you've ever heard it.

    The PonoPlayer is designed to play PonoMusic with stunning clarity. However, the player can play almost any kind of music track including FLAC, ALAC, mp3, WAV, AIFF, AAC (unprotected).

    What this really means is the PonoPlayer can play all your digital music, and all of it will sound great.

    Should buy one... but man... it's just to much money for me. Even if it's future proof.

    Guess I'll pick one up in a few years for a better price. even if it's not a PJ branded one.

    5K for dinner with Neil and 29 others makes me wish I was rich

    Good on Neil for seeing his dream become reality. Now if he could only get Lincvolt happening he might just save the world

    Question: Where's the Boss(Springsteen) on this? I'm surprised he's not on board but then again his Sirius station plays some really bad sounding live tracks...

    A bit too steep for me, but I did get the Neil Young signed concert poster for $100.

    I predict a Starbucks style re-education of consumers
    People will be willing to pay for better music quality (not that Starbucks is good quality, but we're now willing to pay more)
    I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine.

    I decided to bite on it. I couldn't help myself! How could I resist a PJ limited edition version?
