Report: Amazon Readying a HiFi Music Streaming Service

According to sources of MBW, Amazon is readying a HiFi music streaming service, one to combat TIDAL’s offering.

Reported to cost somewhere around $15.99/month, the source claims at least one major record label has signed on to license its music to the service. Not a lot of details were shared, though, the quality should be, “better than CD.”

If we’re comparing to TIDAL, it offers CD-quality lossless streams at 44.1 kHz / 16 bit for $20/month. There is also the Masters tier, which are 96 kHz / 24 bit streams.

The streaming service is said to be available by the end of 2019, so if you need yet another music service, here you go!
