From the article:
NEW YORK and OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Jan. 23, 2017 – Global music and entertainment platform TIDAL and Sprint (NYSE: S) announced today an unprecedented partnership that will soon give Sprint’s 45 million retail customers unlimited access to exclusive artist content not available anywhere else.

And just in case you're thinking that sound quality may be brushed aside, there's this from the same press release:
The Sprint-TIDAL partnership comes on the heels of TIDAL’s recent announcement revealing the availability of “Master” quality recordings. A wide variety of content from labels and artists, including Warner Music Group’s world-renowned music catalogue, is now available in Master audio across all of TIDAL’s available markets worldwide.
According to Music Business Worldwide, that 33% piece cost Sprint "around $200M, valuing TIDAL at $600M." If you remember, Jay Z & Co. purchased Tidal for $56M just two short years ago.
Hmm, 144 million gain in profit for Jay Z & Co. doesn't sound like he lost any money to me. Now that TIDAL's worth over 1/2 billion ~ what's your excuse for proper integration this time? ?

And as far as Jim / JR losing that bet - Sprint ACQUIRED 33% of Tidal. That's exactly what Jim said he was betting on.

Interesting, but why should that mean that JRiver doesn't directly support it? Perhaps if it did Spotify would get a few more subscribers.
