Hello Dt11ner,

When setting up Family Sharing, the Organizer is the one that is responsible for the payments for everyone that has joined up. You can however have each member purchase iTunes Gift cards and apply it to their accounts and that will be billed first before the credit card. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Thanks for the reply, that is a way around it.
I think it's a shame that potentially we are all buying the same music, you would have thought nowadays, that this could be resolved so that you could share as a family.
