Sep 10, 2015 12:52 PM in response to arachellby braden85,Hey arachell,
I see that you have some questions about a Family Membership to Apple Music and the behaviors encountered when using Family Sharing. You are correct that you would need to have Family Sharing set up in order to have a Family Membership for Apple Music. Here is an article that states exactly that, and gives some more information about this type of membership:
With a Family membership to Apple Music, families of up to six people can enjoy all of the benefits of Apple Music, each with their own library. If you joined Apple Music as an Individual member, you can change to a Family membership at any time. You can also switch back to an Individual membership if you choose.
To use a Family membership to Apple Music, you must set up Family Sharing on your iOS device or Mac.Manage your Apple Music membership - Apple Support

When using Family Sharing, each member of the family uses their own Apple ID, which this article states and provides some more information about:
Invite people to join your family
You can add anyone who has an Apple ID to your family, as long as you're both using iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite on your devices. You can also use these steps to add a child to your family group.

When you have Family Sharing enabled, there is a shared photo album automatically created on your devices. No photos are added to that album automatically though, you control the sharing of the photos in your devices:
The whole family can contribute to the family photo album.
Now collecting and sharing family memories is easier and more fun. When Family Sharing is turned on, a shared album is set up automatically in the Photos app on all family members’ devices. Then everyone can add photos, videos, and comments to the album and be notified when something new is added. You can add or view photos and videos from iPhoto on your Mac, and from Photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7 or later.

Hope all of this helps to answer your questions. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Each member of the family can have their own Apple ID. They do not have to be the same for the family plan for Apple Music.

Sep 11, 2015 9:15 AM in response to braden85by tlb419,I created a playlist on my iPod and want to share it with my son so he doesn't have to create the playlist again. Is there a way to do that with the Apple Music Family subscription? or does everyone have to create their own playlist on their device?
