Neil Young’s music is back on “low res Spotify” two years after Rogan protest.

The artist pulled his catalog in early 2022 over its then-exclusive Joe Rogan deal, which Young said had resulted in Spotify spreading vaccine misinformation. Now, with the exclusivity deal over, Rogan’s podcast is also available on Apple and Amazon, and Young can’t keep his music off all of them.

He’s still not happy about Spotify’s lack of high-res audio quality, though.
