It seems that this year we are going to have movement again in streaming music services. Last year Apple launched its streaming music service Apple Music, while Rdio rolled down the blind at the end of the year. According to the latest unconfirmed rumors, the Koreans at Samsung might be interested in buying streaming music service Tidal, which is just over a year old. As reported by several sources to The New York Post, the conversations have already begun with the artist Jay Z at the helm.
The Koreans of Samsung, collaborate this year in the tour and the new album of Rihanna, putting 28 million euros. Rihanna is one of the current owners of the streaming music service Tidal, that music service created by artists and where the quality of the audio is the main advantage it offers over its competitors, is at twice the price of current streaming music services.
But not only the Koreans are interested in taking over Tidal, but Google and Spotify have also shown interest in this music service in recent months. In the short space of time that it has been running, Tidal has just over a million subscribers and has already faced several problems in its 16 months of life. Last December, Tidal hired the third manager to manage the operation of the service.
According to some sources related to the project, the main supporters of the project, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and Alicia Keys They estimate that Tidal is currently worth $ 250 million. However, sources related to the industry affirm that this deficit music service has a value of around 100 million dollars.
Rather it would be against Spotify, don't you think?
Samsung has had terrible experiences with its stores, relatively recently it closed its app store, with everything and that it gave away paid apps.
On the other hand, Tidal is good, it is focused on true audiophiles, a market that neither Apple Music nor Spotify cover.
At first it would compete against Apple Music, since it would come pre-installed on all the devices that the company sells each year and that are many millions. Spotify currently with 28 million paying subscribers, is a long way off for everyone today, including Apple.
It may be good news for Apple users as well, since pulling offers the highest sound quality may push them to do so and Apple will do the same with higher audio quality for Apple Music.
HAHAHA !! Just reading the title and I'm dying of laughter, as many colleagues say around here .. is that we have to stand up to Apple Music ?. I am a lifelong Apple user and I do not use it or plan to use it, with that I tell you how good Apple Music seems to me. This website has two pieces of news that are its strengths that it defends tooth and nail. Apple Music and the iPhone 5se; with both you try to create a sea of controversy. Without getting it clear, because in sight is the interest that readers arouse in the post you publish on these topics.
