Neil Young has officially unveiled his long-awaited Pono Music System at the 14th annual Dreamforce conference in San Francisco.
Pono combines a $400 triangle-based standalone music player with an online music store. The Pono player comes with 64 GB of storage, plus room for another 64 GB via a microSD card, a 2.5-inch touchscreen, and two external speaker jacks.
"We're trying to bring the feeling back to music, the goose bumps," Young told the audience. "We want you to feel the love in the music. It's not about bits; it's about recreating the artist's vision."
More than 600,000 songs from major music publishers are in the Pono Music catalog.
The Pono music player will be built in to cars as soon as it launches.
"We're working with Harmon for Lincoln Continental for 2016 release, with Pono already built in," Young said during an appearance on Mad Money.
"I've been talking with Tesla and as soon as we're ready with our store, they said they're ready to put it in."
