Square just bought Tidal and your guess is as good as ours as to why - Android

Square, the company that makes those little portable payment machines you use when you're in a small restaurant or paying for a caricature, is buying Tidal, that music streaming service that's obsessed with audio quality. If it seems like an odd match, consider that musicians often need to get paid in non-traditional ways—that's how it's being pitched in the official announcement, anyway.

The prospective purchase will cost Square $297 million in a mix of cash and stock, with the company owning a "significant majority" of the streaming service.
