    Didn't they already announce that the two albums are Vs. And LB?

    Big Exciting News!

    Posted by the PonoMusic Team

    Greetings Pono Kickstarter Supporters,

    Now that we are heading into October and the long-anticipated PonoMusic launch at the Dreamforce conference, we wanted to update you on our upcoming plans for PonoPlayer production, shipments, and the PonoMusic Store.

    We are also happy to inform you of some additional privileges of being a Pono Kickstarter supporter.

    PonoPlayer Production and Shipments

    The Pono team has been hard at work with our audio designers at Ayre Acoustics, and our manufacturing partner PCH, to ensure our players live up to the Pono audio and quality standards.

    We have built and tested scores of test units, conducted extensive user testing, and optimized the PonoPlayer. We’ve not only developed a portable device that delivers unrivaled sound quality, but we’ve also made sure that it survives the kinds of wear and tear a portable product can experience. We’ve incorporated numerous enhancements along the way and are thrilled with the outcome. We also back our players with one of the best support plans in the industry to make sure each and every one of you is fully satisfied with your Pono products.

    We are excited to announce that we have officially begun PonoPlayer mass production. Over the coming weeks we will be scaling production and expect to have all Kickstarter commitments manufactured within the next couple of months.

    We plan to ship the October Kickstarter PonoPlayer rewards beginning the last week of October and expect to complete them by mid-November. Each of you will be notified via email when your player is shipped. Generally, the earlier Kickstarter pledges and Signature Series players will get priority for shipment.

    We have some more good news for those who pledged for PonoPlayers with an expected delivery of December 31. At this point, we anticipate shipping all these rewards in time for Christmas!

    Another piece of good news is that every PonoPlayer will include one free Neil Young high definition track so you can experience Pono right out of the box. Make sure you have your favorite headphones or earbuds handy.

    PonoMusic Store

    We will be officially launching PonoMusic in the US at the Salesforce Dreamforce conference in San Francisco in just over a week. Neil Young will be doing a special keynote on October 16th in the Salesforce Community Cloud’s Campground at the Cloud Expos. There will be headphone listening lounges as well as two group-listening sound booths that provide a home audio listening experience. If you’re planning on attending the conference, please stop by and pay us a visit.

    We will be shutting down the PonoMusic.com site for two days (October 6 and 7) in order to launch the new PonoMusic Store in time for Dreamforce. The new site will have a new user experience, incorporating music search, artist and album community discussions, and more. The PonoPlayer Preorder Store will also be there; however, music purchases and the PonoMusic desktop app will not be publicly available until we’ve successfully completed our beta testing of the music purchase ecosystem. In the meantime, we expect the complete catalogs of the big three labels (Warner, Sony, and Universal) to be fully ingested and available on the PonoMusic Store. We anticipate that we will have over 2 million tracks when we make music purchases publicly available.

    One of the privileges of being a Pono Kickstarter backer is early access to music purchases well in advance of the general public. The day that your PonoPlayer reward is shipped to you, we will turn on your music purchase access, giving you a few days to prepare for the arrival of your player. Keep in mind that our catalog of music will still be growing during this period. If you don’t find the music you’re searching for, we ask you to be patient while we complete our catalog ingestion process.

    Lastly, we are still planning on launching the PonoMusic Store in Canada and United Kingdom in the first quarter of 2015. We anticipate expanding the store internationally throughout 2015.

    Pono Accessories

    We anticipate launching the Pono Accessories Store by the end of this year, offering a number of accessories designed specifically for the PonoPlayer. These will include Pono earbuds, Pono cases and Pono cables for use with your home audio system, balanced audio cables for use with your high-end headphones and balanced home audio systems, etc.

    The PonoPromise

    Yet another privilege of being a Kickstarter backer is that the Pono team stands by our free-upgrade promise to backers who pledged for a PonoPlayer reward. You will be eligible indefinitely for a free audio upgrade at the PonoMusic Store.

    This means any PonoMusic purchases by Kickstarter player backers will be upgraded for free should a higher resolution version of that music become available at any time in the future. We hope you enjoy being a part of the exclusive group with this privilege.

    An additional cornerstone of the PonoPromise is that the music you purchase on the PonoMusic Store is guaranteed to be the highest resolution available anywhere.

    Announcements about the availability of upgraded albums will be made on the PonoWorld Times section of our store and in the Pono Community.

    Summary of Kickstarter Bonus Privileges

    We here at Pono continue to look for ways to reward our Kickstarter backers for helping us jumpstart the Pono movement. The three bonuses announced above are:

    • Free music resolution upgrades forever!

    • Early access to the PonoMusic Store

    • One free Neil Young track included with each player

    That’s all the news we have for you today. We are looking forward to a successful launch of Pono. Thanks for your support.

    Mahalo!

    The PonoMusic Team

    How the hell do you upgrade music resolution?

    No Code is now on there. I wonder if they are going to let us know the quality of the recording before we buy.

    I've asked about it. I'm sure they will add them like how hdtracks.com does.

    Looks promising. Already finding more than HD tracks. Granted, not all might not be HD. Bit it will be nice if we can purchase individual songs.

    Hey demetrios, yeah that was my dream for pre-loaded onto the player but I guess they'll have to take more of my money.

    Unfortunately we can't buy music yet. That functionality won't go live until the Ponos start shipping at the end of this month. It goes live first for Kickstarter backers when their orders ship. Probably won't be live for the public until mid-November.

    I guess I'm not seeing it, but where in that link does it say that No Code will be in 24 bit? Most of the other albums come up when you search...will they all be 24 bit?

    It just seems like they're putting the catalogs on there with no resolution information. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the albums will still be CD quality.

    Was hoping they not include anything lower then 24bit Flac's @ their store.

    I think we're all hoping that. I guess we will have to wait and see. Interesting that Vs. and Backspacer don't show up in the listings. They've even got these singles on there:

    I Am Mine
    Light Years
    Merkinball
    Jeremy
