One of the top streaming services for all things melodic and melody-related is Apple Music. Spotify's adversary has a lot to adore, with over 72,000 million users and more than 90,000 tunes from top artists.

Apple Music offers a generous three-month trial period of free access to new subscribers. Memberships are invoiced on a monthly ($9) or yearly ($99) cycle after the trial period. Although that is comparable to the typical cost for other music streaming services, it is never a bad idea to save a little money. While Apple Music is available for $5/month to college students, an Apple Music family plan offers further savings on your subscription.

You will learn how to set up Apple's Family Sharing and add people to your account in this article. Before you know it, your entire family will be listening to music together (and helping you pay that Apple Music premium).

You'll need a few things, some of which are more obvious than others, in order to follow the steps in this article. You must first have an Apple ID, which should be available to everyone who has at least one iOS, macOS, or other Apple service. Second, you'll need a Mac running OS X Yosemite or later, or an iOS device running iOS 8 or later.

Of course, you'll also need a Family subscription to Apple Music. If you're starting over with Apple Music, make sure to select a Family subscription rather than an Individual one. It only takes a few steps to convert an Individual Apple Music subscription to a Family subscription, and step-by-step instructions can be found in the support section of the Apple website.

What is Family Sharing?

Family Sharing makes it simple to share material from several Apple services, including movies, iCloud storage, apps, and the service we're concentrating on today, Apple Music. Account administrators can host up to six users under a single family subscription for for $15 per month. Everyone in Family Sharing receives their own preferences and recommendations because they each utilize their own Apple IDs.

The best part is that when you allow purchase sharing with Family Sharing, everyone in the family can swap movies, television series, books, and music—just as long as the user who made the purchase agrees to share with the rest of the group.

Setting up Family Sharing

The Family plan for Apple Music relies on Apple's Family Sharing system rather than operating independently. Go to the next section if you already have Family Sharing configured and you just want to add additional family members. Read on if you've never utilized family sharing and are setting up your family subscription for the first time.

Setting up Family Sharing on iOS

You're in luck if you're reading this on an iPhone or iPad since Family Sharing can be set up right now in just a few easy steps.

1. Find the Family Sharing settings: Open the Settings app and either tap on your name at the very top, or on older iOS devices, scroll down and open the iCloud settings.
2. Tap Set Up Family Sharing: Then tap Get Started. From here, follow the prompts until setup is completed.
3. Invite family members: If you’re using iOS 11 or later, you’ll be invited to choose the first feature you want to turn on for sharing. From here, follow the instructions to invite family members via Messages.

Setting up Family Sharing on Mac

Setting up Family Sharing on a Mac is just as simple—if not simpler—than doing it on an iOS device. There is a slight difference in the procedures.

1. Open Settings: Click on the ever-present Apple logo in the top left of the screen, then select System Preferences. Once the preferences window is open, click on Family Sharing. For devices running macOS Mojave or earlier, you’ll click iCloud instead of Family Sharing.
2. Start the setup process: Simply click Set Up Family, then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process.

Invite family members

The next step is to add family members so they can enjoy Apple Music as well, regardless of whether you've already set up Family Sharing or just followed the preceding instructions. This is something you can accomplish on an iOS, Android, or Mac device. The following is a list of each step.

iOS

1. Find the Family Sharing settings: As mentioned above, all you need to do is open the Settings app and tap on your name at the very top, or on older iOS devices, scroll down and open the iCloud settings.
2. Add a new family member: This is as easy as tapping Add Family Member and entering their name or email address. Then just follow the onscreen instructions.
3. Finish setup: If you’re using iOS 11 or later, you can choose whether you’d like to invite the family member via Messages or in person.

Mac

1. Open iCloud settings: Click the Apple icon in the top left of your screen, then open System Preferences and click on iCloud.
2. Open Family settings: Just click on Manage Family.
3. Add a new family member: Click the + icon, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Android

1. Open Apple Music settings: Open Apple Music, then tap the menu icon in the upper left corner.
2. Navigate to Account settings: Tap on your photo or name at the top of the screen.
3. Open Membership settings: Tap on Manage Membership, then enter your iCloud password if prompted.
4. Open Family settings: Tap on either Family or Family Setup.
5. Add family members: If you tapped Family Setup, follow the onscreen instructions to add family members. If you tapped Family, tap Add Family Member at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts.

Next steps

You should now be ready on your end. The only thing left to do is for your family to really begin using Apple Music. All they have to do to begin listening is sign into Apple Music using the same credentials they use for Family Sharing. Having said that, occasionally things don't turn out the way you had hoped.

If you run into trouble

Family members that use several accounts frequently log into Apple Music or iCloud (in the case of Family Sharing) with the incorrect one. If someone is having problems logging into Apple Music, that should be the first thing they check.

You or a family member may occasionally be able to access a Family subscription by logging out and back in. First, try signing out and then back in to the impacted Apple Music account. Try performing the same action with all of your Apple services if it doesn't resolve the problem. Try removing everyone from Family Sharing and adding them back if neither of those solutions work. Although this is a little tedious, if you follow the above instructions, it should go quickly.

And that's all there is to it. Check out our list of the top music streaming services if you're thinking about adding another service to provide to your family. We have instructions on how to terminate your Apple Music account in case you decide to switch to a different service.

A famous Korean street snack that has lately arrived in the US is known as Korean hot dogs, commonly referred to as Korean corn dogs. Discover how to create these entertaining, gooey hot dogs at home.

Two Korean hot dog-focused restaurants debuted in San Diego last month. People who were curious and eager to sample these hot dogs responded in droves when I posted some videos and photographs on Instagram. I wanted to duplicate them at home so that anyone who is interested can try them now that I have tried them a few times.

Over the past several days, I tested six different batters, and I'm thrilled to share this recipe with you today along with everything I discovered.

KOREAN HOT DOGS: WHAT ARE THEY?

Popular Korean street food is Korean hot dogs. Batter-coated hot dogs are deep-fried. After being delicately dusted with sugar, they are finished with your choice of sauces. Surprisingly, the flavor contrast of sweet and salty works wonderfully. Additionally, there are a number of varieties, such as a mozzarella dog that is exclusively made of cheese (which is particularly well-liked on social media) and others that have ramen noodles or potatoes as their coating.

DOES THE BATTER NEED YEAST?

No. Even while I did came across some recipes that called for yeast and I think some of the vendors who make these hot dogs do, I was still able to get almost the same results without it. Although adding yeast to the batter makes for a more elastic dough, doing so requires a lot more work because the dough needs time to prove and rise.

The batter I'm providing today is incredibly simple to make and just takes 5 minutes to complete. It is much thicker and stickier than pancake batter, while looking comparable. In order for the batter to adhere to the hot dogs and not drop off, it must be extremely thick and sticky.

CREATING KOREAN HOT DOGS

• Start by skewering your mozzarella, hot dogs, or sausage. I created some with cheese, others with sausages, and some that are half cheese and half sausage. Since disposable wooden chopsticks are frequently used in restaurants as the skewers, I followed suit.
• Make the batter next. Blend the items together using a whisk. The batter needs to be quite thick and gooey.
• The gooey batter is then applied to the hot dogs.
• Roll the hot dog in panko breadcrumbs after that.
• The hot dog is now ready to be fried after being coated. Cook for a few minutes, turning at least once, until the batter is well cooked and the surfaces are all golden brown.
• Sprinkle with sugar flakes. Add your preferred condiments as a drizzle.

Don't be afraid—a wedding will likely be the largest and most complicated event either of you has ever planned. In only ten easy steps, you can start planning your wedding.

1. Enjoy Being Engaged

One thousand times around the lips. Scream "We're engaged!" and jump about while gazing at the diamond ring. Write out the specifics of how you came to be engaged. Think about all the beautiful things you have coming. Take pictures of the two of you wearing the wedding band. One thousand more kisses, please. Enjoy the moment and add special touches to your engagement.

2. Tell Your Parents

Your parents should be the first people you tell about your upcoming wedding. Both of you should be there, and preferably you will tell them in person so they can see your happiness up close, look at the ring, and start talking about the wedding. (Unless, of course, you are estranged.) However, any order is perfectly acceptable. Traditionally, the bride's parents are informed before the groom's. Then tell a few close friends—the people who are probably going to be candidates for maid/matron of honor and best man, or certainly attendants in some capacity—the good news (if you're a traditional couple, the groom may have have asked the bride's parents for her hand in marriage).

3. Purchase a Journal and Use It

There will be ten thousand moments throughout this period that you won't want to forget, as well as some frustrating moments about which you'll need to vent—perhaps not to your partner. You will not only get through this period with the help of your notebook or planner, but you will also treasure it for the rest of your life. If you're tech savvy, you might want to start a wedding blog or journal online.

4. Announce Your Engagement

Share the fantastic news with everyone! There are numerous ways to accomplish this, and none are more appropriate or superior than the others. Think of publishing an announcement about your engagement in print media or sending one to your loved ones. Making a wedding website at this time would also be fantastic.

5. Set the Date

Choosing a wedding date is one of the most crucial decisions you will make as you prepare your wedding. You'd be shocked at how difficult it will be to move forward with preparing your wedding without knowing the date, not to mention that it will be the first thing that everyone will ask you.

6. Set the Tone of Your Event

Now is the moment to decide if your wedding will be formal, informal, or themed. Additionally, now is the moment to choose between a religious and a civil wedding. You must, in essence, select how you want to feel during your wedding. Sit down with your partner and write freely about your ideal wedding as a wonderful place to start. Take a look at the adjectives that each of you wrote and start there. You can start by filling out a questionnaire on wedding planning.

7. Set the Budget

Find a worksheet for a wedding budget as a starting point. Analyze your finances to determine how much money you have saved so far and how much more you can put aside each month. Ask your parents if they would like to donate to your wedding in a conversation with each of them. Learn how much they want to offer you or what particular items they want to pay for.

Decide how much debt you feel comfortable taking on lastly. We admonish couples to be as debt-free as they can. Why start your marriage with debt on your shoulders when financial issues are the number one reason why married couples argue? In addition, you can think about getting a new credit card specifically for the wedding that will reward you with airline miles, cash back, or other benefits. You can manage your wedding costs well and use the money saved to pay for your honeymoon. Simply endeavor to pay it off completely each month.

8. Choose Your Attendants

On the wedding day, your attendants do a lot more than merely stand next to you. The moment is now to include them. While some couples prefer to have only one or two attendants, especially if the wedding is informal, the majority select between 2 and 12 people for the bridal party. Before you make your final decisions, review these lists of bridesmaid and groomsmen duties. A phone call is OK for individuals who live far away, but it's preferable to ask someone in person if they're close by.

9. Find Venues for Ceremony and Reception

The earlier you start exploring, the more likely you are to find the time, date, and price that you've planned for. Many popular locations and even the less traditional options are booked a year in advance.

10. Get Support

The happy couple enlists assistance when planning their wedding rather than doing it alone. This might be from experts, reputable magazines, online apps, or reliable friends who have experience with wedding planning.

• Think about working with a wedding consultant or planner. A professional can be useful in planning your perfect day and can frequently save you money, especially if you are busy or simply feel a little lost.
• Employ online checklists. They are free and quite useful if you are making plans with your mother or potential husband who lives in a different place. They'll assist you in keeping track of all of your imperative tasks.
• Why not include a wedding planning book in addition to the thousands of wedding publications you'll likely bring home from the bookstore if you're like most couples?

You now have a strong foundation for your wedding as a result of your choices. Now it's time for the enjoyable aspects, like as attire, tuxes, flowers, entertainment, favors, and more. To remain on top of everything and to stay organized, adopt a wedding planning checklist.
