COOL.</p> <p>... Okay, so this isn't exactly the most useful tip of all time, but I had a lot of fun blasting my kitchen, office, and basement with Beats 1 all at the same time. There's a little bit of cross-lag—it's not quite the Sonos effect—but still fun.</p> <p>It's also useful if you live in a house or apartment where you have de-facto devices for certain areas of the house. We have two old iPhones in the kitchen and bathroom for playing music there, and it makes a lot more sense to be able to throw on a playlist without having to log in to our own account, tweak, etc.</p> <p>To change your subscription to a Family plan:</p> <ol><li>Tap on the <strong>Account icon</strong> in the upper left corner of the Music app (or go to Account &gt; View Account in iTunes)</li> <li>Tap on <strong>View Apple ID</strong>.</li> <li>Go to <strong>Manage Subscriptions</strong>.</li> <li>Tap on your <strong>Apple Music subscription</strong>.</li> <li>Change it to the <strong>family plan</strong>.</li> </ol><p>To the best of my knowledge, you don't have to turn on Family Sharing in your iCloud preferences to enable multi-device streaming with your Apple Music Family plan.</p> <p>Hope this helps! Now, back to the Apple Music tip grind.</p> <div class="devicebox"> <h3>Apple Music (http://www.imore.com/apple-music)</h3> <p><img src="(http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/field/image/2015/06/apple-music-box-thumbnail.jpg)" /> (http://www.imore.com/apple-music)</p> <ul><li>Apple Music FAQ (http://www.imore.com/apple-music-faq)</li> <li>Apple Music help (http://www.imore.com/apple-music-help)</li> <li>Apple Music news (http://www.imore.com/apple-music)</li> <li>Apple Music discussion (http://forums.imore.com/apple-music/)</li> </ul></div> <div> <style> <!--/*--><![CDATA[/* ><!--*/ <!--/*--><![CDATA[/* ><!--*/ <!--/*--><![CDATA[/* ><!--*/ .devicebox { background-color: #5CB8DB; border: 1px solid #E2E9EB; float: right; display: block; margin: 0 0px 10px 10px; max-width: 350px; overflow: hidden; width: 50%; } .devicebox h3 { background: #8D98BD; font-family: "camptonmedium",sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; } .devicebox h3 a { display: block; line-height: 30px; padding: 0 10px; } .devicebox h3 a:hover { background: #7e88aa; text-decoration: none; } .devicebox .video { margin: auto; } .devicebox p, .entry-content .devicebox p > img, .devicebox img { margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; } div .devicebox *, div .devicebox li, div .devicebox a:active, div .devicebox a:hover, div .devicebox a:link, div .devicebox a:visited { color: #fff; } .devicebox a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } .devicebox p, .devicebox ul li, .devicebox ol li { font-size: 16px; padding: initial; } .devicebox ul { margin: 0; padding: 0.5em 1em 1em 30px; } .devicebox ul li { display: list-item; line-height: 24px; list-style: disc outside none; } .devicebox ul li:before { display: none; } .devicebox p ~ p { padding: 0px 15px 15px; line-height: 1.25; } .devicebox p:first-of-type + p { padding: 15px; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox { float: none; margin: 0 auto 30px; max-width: 700px; min-height: 225px; position: relative; width: 100%; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox .video, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox .video { bottom: 0px; left: 50%; position: absolute; right: 0px; top: 30px; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox .video_iframe, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox .video_iframe { height: 100%; padding: 0px; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox h3 + p, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox h3 + p { bottom: 0; left: 50%; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 30px; width: 50% } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox h3 + p img, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox h3 + p img { float: right; height: 100%; width: auto; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox ul, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox ul, div *:last-of-type + .devicebox p, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox p { width: 43%; } @media all and (max-width: 500px) { .devicebox { float: none; margin: 0 0 30px; max-width: 100%; width: 100%; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox .video, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox .video { left: 0; position: relative; top: 0; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox .video_iframe, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox .video_iframe { padding-bottom: 56.25%; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox h3 + p, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox h3 + p { left: 0; position: relative; top: 0; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox ul, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox ul { width: auto; } } /*--><!]]]]]]><![CDATA[><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]]]><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]>*/ </style></div> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
