Well, this is huge: The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple is in talks to acquire Jay Z’s Tidal music-streaming service.

Let’s sit back and watch the developments. In the meantime, Pauseandplay.com will continue its unwavering support of new music, new songs, new artists and artist rights.
