Presto Music, a streaming service dedicated to classical and jazz music, has announced its integration into the WiiM Home App.
The UK-based streaming service, which launched with around 200,000 listed albums in 2023 and many of which are available in 24-bit/192kHz hi-res audio, is now accessible from the WiiM Home App to users of WiiM hi-fi separates, WiiM Sound / Sound Lite smart speakers and the WiiM Bar soundbar.
What’s more, thanks to Presto’s Fair Play initiative, which compensates artists per second of music streamed instead of a traditional ‘per play’ streaming model, users will be able to rest easy in the knowledge that the artists they listen to are being more fairly remunerated.
According to Dr Lifeng Zhao, CEO of WiiM, "At WiiM, we’re always looking for ways to make exceptional listening experiences more accessible. Adding Presto Music to the WiiM platform gives our users seamless access to one of the world’s leading destinations for classical and jazz, further expanding the open ecosystem that makes WiiM a powerful hub for music lovers.”
The collaboration comes as part of Presto Music’s wider integration into audio ecosystems, with the platform already available in Focal and Naim streaming products, as well as products from Eversolo and BluOS-powered streaming products.
WiiM users new to Presto Music will also be able to cash in on a three-month free trial of the streaming service by selecting Presto Music from the Music Service menu in the Wiim Home app.
Presto Music subscriptions start at £10.99 per month. For £13.99 per month, users gain access to the company’s ‘streaming plus’ subscription, which includes free standard UK shipping of physical products available via Presto Music, alongside 10 per cent off all purchases made through the platform.
