Getting a student subscription to Apple Music

To receive a student subscription to Apple Music, your student status is verified by UNiDAYS. The UNiDAYS verification service will check that you are indeed enrolled in a university or college and pass this data on to Apple.

Your student status will be reviewed periodically. If UNiDAYS detects that you are no longer a student or your 48 months of student subscription have expired, you will automatically be transferred to the usual conditions - for 169 rubles per month, to an individual subscription.

Then select the "College Student" or "University Student" option, 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 website that appears, you must enter your university email.

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 UNiDAYS status?" and sign in using the same email address you use for UNiDAYS.

Simply put, first contact UNiDAYS and get confirmation from them that your mailing address is a school one. To do this, you will need to provide them with a scanned copy or photo of your student ID. 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. Specify the subscription as “For students”, and then click on “Confirm student status” again. At this point you will be redirected to the UNIDAYS website!
• 5. Enter the name of your educational institution and click "Continue".
• 6. On the next page you will find the “UNIDAYS Support Service” button and click on “Contact Support”. You will receive a response within 48 hours and you will be able to confirm your status and mailing address. The request can be sent in Russian.

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

Once you've signed in and verified your student status, you'll see the message "Open this page in Music." 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 a student subscription to Apple Music. 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 to get a student subscription to Apple Music if you are not a student?

Despite the many instructions that supposedly allow you to do 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 if violations are detected, you should not use such instructions. Better consider signing up for a family subscription, which allows you to save in legal ways, or choose an individual one.

The story of a novice developer

Over the three years of studying at the university, I saved almost 66,000 rubles on development software. I didn’t spend a penny myself.

Evgeny Trigubov

saves on software

I’ll tell you how to get the software used by developers at Google, Siemens and Facebook for free.

Materiel

Jetbrains Products for Learning

Saving: RUR 36,000 for 3 years.

A student subscription allows you to use all Jet Brains products for free for a year. The programs I used were 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 time during my internship. I was able to quickly get to grips with Microsoft's Visual Studio development environment because it is structured similarly: the same capabilities for tracking errors, editing code, building and testing a project.

36,000 R

I saved money on Jet Brains programs for 3 years with a student subscription

I obtained 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 confirmation method by mail and indicated my university email.
3. I confirmed my email - to do this, I opened the university email, 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 your student status: send a photo of your student ID or ISIC student card.

Student Developer Pack: GitHub, DIgital Ocean, GitKraken

Saving: RUR 21,720 for 3 years.

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

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

In GitKraken the student receives an annual license to use the paid version of the program, which usually costs $60. The program complements the standard GitHub or other version control system: interaction with the code occurs 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 will switch to the free version. It seemed to me that there were no obvious advantages compared to the paid version.

Here's how I got the 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 your personal email, and not just your university email with the edu domain.
3. On the Choose your plan page, you selected the subscription type - indicated the free version and clicked Yes, I’m a student.
4. Provided your university email to confirm your 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 the software to improve my programming skills”).
6. After 5-7 days, the information will be checked and an email will be sent to you 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 make a mistake in the name of the university or the validity period of your student card is not visible in the photo, you may be refused.

I encountered this: the first time I was denied a license because I did not confirm my educational email for a long time. I applied for a license a second time and it worked out.

One of the most popular platforms for listening, downloading and purchasing music, Apple Music, was released by our favorite 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 anyone can handle it. We, including the application, immediately see a pop-up window. The service asks if we would like to subscribe.

There are several options, they are chosen based on needs. Any subscription is free for the first three months of use, and you can easily change it to another using your Apple ID settings.

Important: after the final selection, a small window will appear confirming the purchase of the subscription, but no money will be debited - this way 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 process will not take even five minutes, but all the music will be organized.

Once completed, you can begin exploring 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. The light design prevents your eyes from getting tired.

How to use Apple Music?

A lot of music is now literally at hand, and prices for albums and individual tracks are reasonable.

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 an Internet connection.

24-hour radio is also a definite advantage of using the application. Three world-famous DJs work on it, putting on the air the freshest and juiciest tracks.

The radio does not have a specific focus, but almost all audio recordings on air 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 and playlists 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 to a legal “Torrent” - the same large database of music, but organized and under the label of the world famous Apple.

The choice of music is huge: you can listen to both popular rock and classics, and 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 your favorite ones. The easiest way is to use the built-in search, the line is in the upper right corner. “Music” searches by keywords in the name of the group or 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. How can you find new releases or unfamiliar but interesting performers?

In this case, we will use algorithmic search. Although it sounds very “abstract”, the principle of operation 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.

Using single and double taps, we mark genres: whether we like them or not. Long press to mark the options we don’t like.

In general, the application provides standard options, so many of the options offered may already be in your playlist.

Please note: When you visit the New tab, you will notice several lists of popular and recommended music. The playlists in this list are selected according to the opinions of experts, musicians and composers.

You can also find a large variety of original radio stations here.

Thanks to a variety of tools, searching for new music in the application is very fast and produces good results.

Free Apple Music Subscription

As you already know, the trial subscription period lasts only three months. During this entire time period, you will be able to listen to music without any problems without paying a penny.

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

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

Apple Music Family Subscription

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

Worth noting: the user who has activated Family Sharing is considered the access organizer. 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 discounted subscriptions for up to four years. However, the time of use may not be continuous.

Please note: This promotion is not available in all countries.

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

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

Conclusion

The Apple Music app allows any music lover to carry an 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 disable the subscription renewal in advance - otherwise the money for it will be debited from your account upon expiration.

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

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

The overall verdict is clear: the application is very convenient and practical, but, of course, it also has its drawbacks. Either way, it is considered one of the best music utilities for iPhone and iPad.

A year ago, Apple introduced the ability to pay for Apple Music for 75 rubles per month. To do this, you just need to register.

However, at the confirmation stage, many users have problems. They do not have an email address on the university domain and there is no way to get one.

What to do in this case?

To get the cheap subscription you deserve, you'll need to take 2 high-quality student ID photos.
