Family sharing

I bought a kids music album and want to share it wih my kids... do i need to pay for an itunes family subscription to accomplish this? I can’t seem to select sharing iTunes content without having a subscription.

You can set up Family Sharing for free. You only need pay for something if you want to subscribe to Apple Music which you do not for this purpose.


Family Sharing - https://support.apple.com/HT201060 - "Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people [different Apple IDs] in your family to share each other’s iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases without sharing accounts. Pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’ spending right from a parent’s device. And share photos, a family calendar, and more to help keep everyone connected."
