Swedish streaming company Aspiro, mostly known for their WiMP service are closing the deal with rapper Jay-Z. Following this deal, Jay-Z will own not only WiMP but more importantly also Tidal, the lossless streaming service just now trying to get a good grip on the hi-fi digital market. Jay-Z isn’t likely to change that but he will undoubtedly make lossless streaming a more commonly known technology and thus make this deal a good thing for the rest of us.
