Apple confirmed that it has launched a new student membership for its Music streaming service in seven countries, which offers the same features as regular plans with at least a 50 percent discount. Users simply need to prove they're studying at an eligible college or university to take advantage of the new tier, Engadget reports.
Currently, student memberships are live in Australia (A$5.99) and New Zealand (NZD $6.49), but will also be available in the U.S. ($4.99), UK (£4.99), Denmark (kr49) , Ireland (€4.99) and Germany (€4.99). They'll be available for at least four years after a user signs up and can be paused for study breaks.
Spotify, on the other hand, provides a student discount for one year before reverting users back to a standard monthly plan, Engadget says.
