At this time this will only affect MusicplayOnline and the major difference for you will be that on your first login after the launch you will be required to re-enter password.

Simplified district management, for those of you that are a part of districts. Simplified profile management. In the future, with this process: Once you login once, you will be logged into all Musicplay products. This will not impact: Your existing subscription. This will not impact your student access in any way. You will continue to access MusicplayOnline in the same way you always have!   You can read a bit more about what to expect about this process here:
