With a library of over 50 million songs, there's something for everyone on Spotify, whether you love showtunes, rap, country, or classical — or any other genre, for that matter.

All you'll need to provide is your name and student email, and occasionally proof that you're a student (a college ID, for example).

Spotify Premium Student also comes with a Hulu and SHOWTIME subscription at no extra cost.
