Hi Cooper.Fitz,


We understand you're wanting to know how to share music with family members. Do you have an Apple Music subscription? If so, check out this article on how to share: How to share purchases with your family.


If you do not have an Apple Music subscription, this article may interest you: Get an Apple Music family subscription.


If the music content is from non-Apple sources such as CDs, it cannot be shared: What types of content can I share with my family?


Hope this helps. Take care.

Hi Cooper.Fitz,


Since you subscribe to Apple Music, 'you can turn on Sync Library to access your music library and music that you've downloaded from Apple Music on all of your devices.": Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music.


iCloud isn't a back up storage, which means there isn't a way to move music there. You'd want to be sure that you keep the music on your external drive in the event your Mac becomes lost, damaged, or replaced. See the article above for more information.


Hope this helps. Cheers.
