WiMP is a music streaming service that allows instant listening to specific tracks or albums, with virtually no buffering delay. Music can be browsed by artist, by album or by created playlists as well as by direct searches. The service is made by the Norwegian company Aspiro in co-operation with the music store Platekompaniet and the telecommunications company Telenor.[1] Music in WiMP is streamed using the HE-AAC file format in a bitrate of 96 kbit/s or the AAC file format in a bitrate of 320 kbit/s if the high quality streaming option is selected.

Wimp is funded by paid subscriptions. The price is 99 NOK per month, but a 30-day free trial is available. WiMP is currently available in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Poland and in the Netherlands under brand Ziggo Muziek.[3] Canal Digital cable TV and satellite customers in Norway may sign up for a limited edition of Wimp for free and the full version at a reduced cost.

The application features Last.fm integration which allows the current track to be "scrobbled" without making use of the Last.fm software.

Users can also buy tracks from within WiMP, as 256 kbit/s DRM-free MP3-downloads through the Platekompaniet online music store.

WiMP gives full access to play music from a library of some 18 million tracks.[4] The selection is growing rapidly and the focus is to have the most complete selection possible. WiMP has local editors in each country, focusing on presenting the local and international relevant music all day every day.
