Getting a student subscription to Apple Music

For a student subscription to Apple Music, your student status is verified by UNiDAYS. The UNiDAYS Verification Service will verify that you are indeed a university or college student and pass this information on to Apple.

Periodically, your student status will be rechecked. If UNiDAYS finds that you are no longer a student or your 48 months of student subscription has expired, you will be automatically transferred to regular conditions - for 169 rubles per month, to an individual subscription.

Then select the option "College student" or "University student", depending on where you study. Feel free to click on the "Confirm student status" button. Safari will open - don't worry, everything is going according to plan. On the site that appears, you must enter your university mail.

This is one of the most difficult stages, where students often give up trying to register. But in vain! If you already have a UNiDAYS account, click "Already verified with UNiDAYS?" and sign in with the same email address that you use for UNiDAYS.

To put it simply - first contact UNiDAYS, and get confirmation from them that your mailing address is educational. To do this, you will need to provide them with a scanned copy or photo of your student ID card. Apple Music and UNiDAYS most readily accept email addresses that end in .edu, but if your university has a different domain, this is not a problem.

• 1. Go to Settings, then iTunes Store and App Store.
• 2. Click on your account name, click on "View Apple ID".
• 3. In the "Subscriptions" tab, select Apple Music.
• 4. Set the subscription to "For Students" and then click on "Verify Student Status" again. At this point, you will be redirected to the UNIDAYS website!
• 5. Enter the name of your school and click Continue.
• 6. On the next page, look for the "UNIDAYS Help Desk" button, and click on "Contact Support". Within 48 hours you will be answered and you will be able to confirm your status and mailing address. The request can be sent in Russian.

What to do after confirmation? Go back to the original instructions and enter the postal address that you previously confirmed with UNIDAYS.

After you sign in and check your student status, the message "Open this page in Music" will appear. Click to complete your subscription. Select "Start Student Subscription", confirm your billing information and payment method, and select "Subscribe".

The first 75 rubles will be written off after the first month. Happy listening! You have successfully signed up for an Apple Music student subscription. If you previously signed up for an individual subscription, and now decide to switch to a student subscription, it will start working after the end of the previously paid period.

P.S. How do I get a student subscription to Apple Music if you're not a student?

Despite the many instructions supposedly allowing this, each of them is based on the submission of false data to the UNIDAYS service. Considering regular checks, and automatic transfer to an individual subscription in case of violations, you should not use such instructions. It is better to think about making a family subscription, which allows you to save money in legal ways, or choose an individual one.

Beginning Developer Story

For three years of study at the university, I saved almost 66,000 rubles on development software. I didn't spend a dime on it myself.

Evgeny Trigubov

save on software

I'll tell you how to get free software used by developers on Google, Siemens and Facebook.

materiel

Jetbrains Products for Learning

Saving: 36 000 R for 3 years.

A student subscription allows you to use all Jet-Brains products for free for a year. I used the following programs: IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate for Java and Android programming, PyCharm Professional for Python, and WebStorm for front-end development. There are programs for other languages ​​and programming purposes.

Understanding how development environments work saved me a lot of internship time. I was able to quickly get to grips with Microsoft's Visual Studio development environment because it's structured similarly: the same capabilities for tracking errors, editing code, building, and testing a project.

36 000 R

I saved on Jet-Brains for 3 years on a student subscription

I received my license using the university mail:

1. I went to the company's website and clicked the Apply Now button.
2. On the page that appeared, I chose the method of confirmation by mail and indicated my university mail.
3. I confirmed the mail - for this I opened the university post office, found a letter from Jet-Brains and followed the link.
4. I downloaded the programs I needed.

If there is no university mail, then in the second step you can choose other ways to confirm student status: send a photo of a student ID card or ISIC student card.

Student Developer Pack: GitHub, Digital Ocean, GitKraken

Saving: 21 720 R for 3 years.

GitHub- the most popular representative of the version control system. Developers use this platform to control the development process: keep track of who added a line of code and when; return to the previous state of the code if something went wrong, etc. It's like Google docs for programmers.

At Digital Ocean the student is given $50 - enough to rent the simplest virtual server for 10 months for $5 per month. You can install a telegram bot on such a server. And to deploy your own website, you need a more powerful server, say, for $15 per month. Trading bots are deployed on my server, bringing a modest passive income. In the future, I plan to rent a server for my own money.

In GitKraken the student receives an annual license to use the paid version of the program, usually it costs $60. The program complements the standard GitHub or other version control system: interaction with the code takes place through a window with a convenient interface instead of the classic command line.

When the student license expires, I will continue to use GitKraken but switch to the free version. It seemed to me that there are no obvious advantages compared to the paid version.

Here's how I got my license:

1. I went to the company's website and clicked on the Get Your Pack button.
2. Registered an account. Here you can specify personal mail, and not just university mail with the edu domain.
3. On the Choose your plan page, I chose the type of subscription - indicated the free version and clicked Yes, I'm a student.
4. Indicated university mail to confirm student status. But you can attach a scan of your student ID.
5. I indicated the name of the university, the year of my graduation and wrote how I plan to use the subscription. You can do this: I will use the pack to improve my programming skills (“I will use software to improve my programming skills”).
6. After 5-7 days, the information will be checked and a letter will be sent to the mail with a link to activate your Student Developer Pack. You can download the programs from the link.

License requests are reviewed by humans. Therefore, if you made a mistake in the name of the university or the expiration date of the student card is not visible on the photo, you may be refused.

I came across this: the first time I was denied a license because I did not confirm my school mail for a long time. I applied for a license a second time - and everything worked out.

One of the most popular platforms for listening, downloading and buying music, Apple Music was released by our beloved "apple company" many years ago. The multifunctional and practical application is considered convenient for all iPhone and iPad users.

How to connect Apple Music?

Let's start with the fact that the connection is very fast and everyone can handle it. We, including the application, immediately see a pop-up window. The service asks if we want to subscribe.

There are several options, they are chosen based on needs. Any subscription is shareware for the first three months of use, it can be easily changed to another one using the Apple ID settings.

Important: after the final choice, a small window will appear with confirmation of the purchase of the subscription, but the money will not be debited - so you only confirm that after three months you will be able to pay for the subscription.

If there are audio recordings on the device, the application will independently process them and add them to the playlist. The processing will not take even five minutes, but all the music will be streamlined.

After completion, you can begin to study the latest in the music industry.

The application is really very convenient to use both as a player and as a simple media library. Here you can easily find a song by author, album or title. Also, the Apple Music interface is quite pleasant and does not cause negative emotions. Light design does not allow the eyes to get tired.

How to use Apple Music?

Many musical compositions are now literally at hand, and prices for albums and individual tracks are acceptable.

Of course, many songs appear with a significant delay, but in general, the application's music library will suit any music lover. Using the application, you can delete or download music to listen to it without connecting to the Internet.

24/7 radio is also a definite plus for using the app. Three world-famous DJs work on it, setting the freshest and juiciest tracks on the air.

The radio does not have a specific direction, but almost all audio recordings are of high quality and allow you to relax.

The functionality of the application has been significantly improved. Now users can create or edit playlists, playlist in just a few clicks.

This is very convenient for those music lovers who are used to distributing tracks by mood or genre, and also have a lot of music files on their iPhone.

The service can really be compared with the legal "Torrent" - the same large database of music, but streamlined and under the label of the world famous Apple.

The choice of music is huge: you can listen to both popular rock or classics, as well as even less popular performers. Music will be sorted according to your tastes and preferences, as well as the specified "favorite genres".

So, let's figure out how to find new songs or add already loved ones. The easiest way is to use the built-in search, the line is in the upper right corner. "Music" searches for keywords in the name of the group or the name of the artist, albums, videos and playlists. Radio stations created by the application itself are also included in the search radius.

This search method is suitable for those who know exactly what they want to listen to. But how to find new items or unfamiliar, but interesting performers?

In this case, we will use the search using algorithms. Although it sounds very "abstruse", the principle of the application is simple.

You choose your favorite music genres, and the service adapts to your preferences and selects playlists or albums according to your request.

With the help of single and double taps, we mark genres: whether we like them or not. With a long press, we mark the options that we do not like.

In general, the application gives out standard options, so many of the proposed options may already be in your playlist.

Note: when you visit the "New" tab, you can see several lists of popular and recommended music. Playlists in this list are selected according to the opinion of experts, musicians and composers.

Also here you can find a large number of various author's radio stations.

Thanks to the many tools, finding new music in the application is very fast and gives good results.

Free Apple Music subscription

As already known, the trial subscription period lasts only three months. Throughout this time period, you can listen to music without any problems without paying a penny.

But after ninety days, the subscription on a free basis will be disabled, and the music will become available only after payment.

Important: The service does not have a permanent free subscription, therefore, if it is impossible or unwilling to pay for the renewal of the subscription, you will have to abandon the application. Please note that there are many analogues of Apple Music.

Apple Music Family Subscription

This type of subscription will be very convenient when all family members use Apple gadgets and want to get full access to the music database. So, how do you connect a family subscription to listen to audio recordings without restrictions?

Worth noting: the user who connected "Family Sharing" is considered the organizer of access. To add users to access, just send them invitations.

The subscription process is standard. You can either reconnect your subscription or reconnect from another option. For example, from a student or standard subscription.

Apple Music Student Subscription

College or university students receive a discounted subscription for up to four years. In this case, the time of use may not be continuous.

Note: This offer is not available in all countries.

To get a student subscription, you need to follow a few simple steps:
1. Open the music app and wait for the Apple Music screen to appear.
2. Select Trial subscription -> College/University student -> Verify student status.
3. Now enter the email address and select the university or college.

Done, the subscription is connected. Now you just have to configure the application as you wish and select a list of your favorite songs, artists.

Conclusion

The Apple Music app allows any music lover to carry their entire music library in their pocket. The trial period allows you to easily test the application and see if you need it.

Do not forget that if you do not like the application, then turn off the subscription renewal in advance - otherwise the money for it will be deducted from your account upon expiration.

A variety of tools for exploring the musical world allow you to fully immerse yourself in listening to music, download your favorite tags, and organize them.

A lot of search tools make it possible to both find new artists and add tracks you already like.

The overall verdict is unequivocal: the application is very convenient and practical, but, of course, it has its drawbacks. In any case, it is considered one of the best music utilities for iPhone and iPad.
