      Three quick tips for this: 
      
      1) Upgrade to a family account and add the home as a unique account
      
      2) Download playlists to the home account’s library
      
      3) Ask your smart speaker to play the playlist on shuffle to keep it fresher for longer

      Protip. Make a playlist of music for around the house. 
      
      We put our Ultimate Dinner playlist on every night while during dinner and are constantly adding to it. Our kids get exposure to all kinds of music and really enjoy having it on and dancing in the kitchen after eating

      underrated aspect of visiting electronics stores is comparing the lives of the fictional owners of different phone brands. apple continues to be the most boring nuclear white family ever designed. samsung has a creative notetaking young adult with great sketches and oppo has whatever tf this is
