You’ll also need an Apple Music Family subscription, of course. Second, you’ll need an iOS device running iOS 8 or later, or a Mac running OS X Yosemite or later. First off, you’ll need an Apple ID, which anyone with at least one iOS or macOS device or other Apple service should have. In order to follow the instructions in this guide, you’re going to need a few things, some of which are more obvious than others. Before you know it, you’ll have multiple family members streaming tunes under one roof (and helping you pay that Apple Music premium). In this guide, we’ll teach you how to set up Apple’s Family Sharing and how to add users to your account. While college students can get Apple Music for $5/month, another way to save on your subscription is with an Apple Music family plan. While that’s on par with the average cost for other music streamers, saving a buck here or there is never a bad thing. After the trial period, memberships are billed on a monthly ($9) or yearly cycle ($99). If you’re a new subscriber, Apple Music gives you a generous break-in period of three free months of service. This way, you don't have to waste extra money on a family plan if it's just for two people. The new Duo plan costs a bit more than the $10 single account plan but less than the $15 family plan, which you would have required previously even if you planned on sharing between just two people. Or you could just ignore it and continue listening to what you like. The Duo plan also gets Duo Mix, a playlist curated from the things that the two accounts like so you can sample each other's musical tastes. Of course, just as is the case with the family account, Spotify actually does nothing to verify if the two accounts are really in one location as long as you fill in the same address for both. The Duo plan basically works the same way as family plan, where Spotify requires you to have the same address for all involved accounts. For a monthly cost of $13, two individuals can have their own separate accounts and don't have to deal with the recommendation algorithm going wild with two different music preferences. Spotify has introduced a new subscription for couples living in the same household to share a single subscription between two accounts.Ĭalled the Spotify Premium Duo plan, it is basically a version of the family plan for just 2 people.
