Aspiro inks $1.3m US music deal

Swedish platform provider signs three-year agreement with unnamed partner.

The streaming solution, which goes by the working title Wimp, is currently in beta test period with a few thousand users in Norway and Sweden.

The new new deal for the US and Canada will run over three years and is worth a minimum of 10 million Swedish Kronor (US$1.28 million).

Aspiro already supplies music download stores to djuice and Telenor in Norway, Sweden and Denmark as well as a store with Norwegian music distributor Platekompaniet, which was launched this summer.

Gunnar Sellæg, CEO of Aspiro, said: "[The new US and Canada agreement] is another step forward in our efforts in the Music area. When an American player chooses us, we see it as a sign that we have done a good job producing music services for the future."
