PonoMusic

PonoMusic was founded in 2012 by legendary musician Neil Young, who has long been an advocate for higher digital audio quality. In March 2014, Young revealed the company's high resolution music service and portable PonoPlayer device at SXSW, launching a Kickstarter project to support its impending launch. By the time the campaign closed the followi... ng month, it had brought in more than eight times its goal of $800,000 to become the third-highest-grossing project in the site's history. The PonoMusic store officially launched in January 2015, and the PonoPlayer was shipped to those who contributed to the Kickstarter campaign. The PonoPlayer is now being sold at many audio and record outlets that include Fry's Electronics, Amoeba Music, and many other independent record retailers with plans to expand its retail distribution. Music Biz membership is available to both companies and individuals at a variety of price points, including a special $35 rate for students. Members may participate in Music Biz's Workgroups to affect the future of the industry, meet new business partners and gain exposure at major events such as the annual Music Biz convention, and gain access to important data via the API Directory, Music Startup Network, Award Nominees & Festival Lineup Listings, and more.Read More
