I have a playlist with several hundred songs on it. I have shared it with my wife. She can see the playlist but half the songs are missing. What's going on? We have Family Sharing set up, Apple One Premier subscription is active. Why wouldn't all of the songs show up? The playlist is OK on all of my devices (Macbook, iPhone, iPad) but her's, which are signed into her ID, are all missing the same number of songs.

There’s over 300 missing songs, she has to figure out what they are and then try to download them? I haven’t gone through them all but I’m gonna guess a lot of them aren’t on Apple Music, they are probably from CDs I have downloaded. These are all songs I own and have on our family computer we all should have access to it.
With an Apple Music subscription you can share playlists (names of songs) but not the actual music that you lease with that subscription. With an Apple Music Family subscription, everyone gets their own music library. Once she knows, the song names, she should be able to download the music to her device using her Apple ID.
With or without an Apple Music subscription you can share music that you BOUGHT from the iTunes Store if the Family Organizer turns on purchase sharing.
