If you love streaming your music but hate that you can't get the sound quality of CDs, this news might just be music to your ears.

Rumor has it that Amazon is planning to add a high-definition streaming service to its music options, including Prime Music and Music Unlimited. While Amazon's existing music services compete with providers like Apple Music or Spotify, the new high-fidelity tier is expected to take on TIDAL, Music Business Worldwide reports. While TIDAL's high-quality tier costs $19.99 per month, Amazon's new service "will likely be in the region of $15 per month," MBW said.
