The best thing is that each person uses his or her Apple Music account. You will get your music recommendations and download them to your Apple Music library. You can also share your music with other members on the same subscription. Apart from music, you can also share calendars, TV shows, movies, and photos.

This is the flexible way to share Apple Music songs, playlists, and albums. This service can save you a lot of money because once a member purchases a song it can be shared with other five members. The Apple Music family sharing setup is also cost-efficient because six people can enjoy a subscription of $14.99. Each member uses a different Apple ID but can share Apple Books, Apple Music purchases, and app store purchases. Members can share the iCloud storage service.

Apple Music family sharing setup is a good thing that allows you to share Apple Music with five family members. This is a problem when you want to share with more than five members. Another limitation is that such Apple Music files can only be shared on iOS devices. Apple Music allows you to purchase and download files from the store. But you cannot play those files on a device that does not support Apple Music or iTunes. This is because all files on Apple Music have DRM protection. You can purchase Apple Music files but you will not own them.

It will take out the DRM protection from Apple Music files then convert them into other compatible formats.
