We just added a new store for distribution: WiMP.
In case you’re only familiar with WiMP as a synonym for ‘coward’ or ‘scaredy cat,’ we’re talking about the music service available in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Poland.
It’s a music service geared toward helping users discover new music, and it offers downloads (in Norway only) and streams (all territories).
Through local country editorial teams, WiMP provides daily recommendations, playlists and other artist features for their 350,000+ paid subscribers. They also work with local news and music media sources to integrate their content and give artists more opportunities for exposure.
WiMP is available on all popular devices, so you can find new music no matter where you are.
