Steve Jobs preferred vinyl to iPods when listening to musicSteve Jobs preferred listening to music on vinyl than on iPod docks, according to Neil Young.

Young, who was addressing a technology conference at the time, revealed: "Steve Jobs was a pioneer of digital music. His legacy is tremendous - but when he went home, he listened to vinyl."

The singer also suggested that him and Jobs had been working on a super-high digital audio format that would blow MP3s out of the water. Conceding that the problem for such a file might be that it was simply too large, Young suggested you could always sleep while it downloaded:

"Sleep well. Wake up in the morning. 'Play some real music and listen to the joy of 100 percent of the sound of music."
