With the cost of living impacting so many there's no reason why music should be something you need to give up in order to cut costs, experts at digital headphone magazine Headphonesty.com have revealed how to save you money on your music subscription. 

Spotify recently announced their prices would be increasing to £10.99 a month which is their full-price membership. Students receive 50% off with a student subscription costing £4.99 per month although this only lasts 4 years before you can no longer receive this discount. 

However, not many people are aware of the family subscription, this type of account allows the user to add 5 more individual accounts, 6 in total. All account have their own libraries and do not interfere with one another like the normal subscription does, so no more days of fighting over who wants to listen to the music. 

The cost of this is £16.99, which divided by the 6 accounts is £2.83 per person a month, a huge saving of 74%. Other streaming services also offer these deals so no matter where you listen to your music you can also save money:

A spokesperson from Headphonesty.com commented: “With the cost of living impacting so many, music shouldn’t be a luxury people are priced out of.

“Streaming services are raising costs and many may feel the extra financial stress of subscriptions, but there are options to help ease the stress. From student discounts which offer up to 50% off, to sharing plans, that can help spread the cost and allow everyone to enjoy music anytime, anywhere and not break the bank.”
