Apple co-founder Steve Jobs may have given contemporary music one of its most crucial inventions, the iPod, but he was apparently a big vinyl fan.

According to Neil Young, recently addressing a technology conference, ???Steve Jobs was a pioneer of digital music. His legacy is tremendous ??? but when he went home, he listened to vinyl.???

Young also claimed that him and Jobs had been collaborating on a super-high digital audio format that approximated vinyl???s sound quality, with 20 times the fidelity of a standard mp3. Jobs was, apparently, shocked that consumers were so willing to ???trade quality??? for convenience or price???, claimed All Things D journalist Walt Mossberg, who interviewed Jobs before his death last year [via The Week].

Young conceded, however, that the problem with this format came in its size ??? suggesting that the best route would be to download it while you sleep.

???Sleep well???, suggested Young. ???Wake up in the morning. ???Play some real music and listen to the joy of 100 percent of the sound of music.???

A petty gripe, maybe, but I hate the fact that most magazines decided to spin this Neil Young interview into a piece about Steve Jobs. The most interesting comments for me were those about piracy and the internet:

It doesn't affect me because I look at the internet as the new radio. I look at the radio as gone. [...] Piracy is the new radio. That's how music gets around. [...] That's the radio. If you really want to hear it, let's make it available, let them hear it, let them hear the 95 percent of it.
