How can I share an Apple Music playlist with trimmed settings?

I created a playlist in Apple Music on my MacBook Pro for hockey games and most of the songs are trimmed within Apple Music using the Get Info > Options > Start Time method. The playlist syncs perfectly to my iPhone with the trimmed song settings. I have family share setup and Apple Music for family and shared the playlist to my daughter's iPad to play at games and can share the playlist but none of the trimmed settings. Is there another way the music with the trimmed setting onto her iPad?

Hello vancar,


Thanks for posting your question. If I understand correctly, you've created a playlist in the Music app on your Mac with trimmed song settings, and those settings are retained when you sync your iPhone with the computer, but not when you try sharing the playlist using your Apple Music Family subscription; is that right?


If so, it sounds like you may need to temporarily sign out of Apple Music on the iPad and then sync the iPad with the computer like you have with the iPhone. You can sign out by tapping Settings > [name] > Then, test it out to see how the songs play on the iPad.


When you sign out of Apple Music, this will remove any content added from the Apple Music service. Depending on exactly what you need to do, when you no longer need the trimmed songs on the iPad, you could sign back in and turn Sync Library on to use Apple Music again. You'll need to re-download any content that was previously saved offline: Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music


I hope I've answered your question. Take care.
