Sharing Music Library

I have all of the family music on my Mac. My husband and I have family sharing. How do I share the music library with him?

Hello wavy49,


Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not aware of a way to share the entire Library.. You can however share Playlists!


On iPhone:


  1. Open Music
  2. Tap Library
  3. Tap Playlists
  4. Tap one of your playlists
  5. Tap More (three dots in the upper right)
  6. Tap Share Playlist
  7. Choose your desired method for sharing.


On macOS:


  1. Open Music
  2. Right-click your Playlist
  3. Tap Share.


The updates coming this Fall (iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma), will allow you to collaborate on playlists with friends and family! I thought I'd mention this as not to many people know this and it wasn't announced at WWDC23.
