Listening to Music simultaneously on two devices

Hi.


Before I had Apple Music I used to upload some of my library on my iPhone. If I went for a run I could listen to this while my wife listened to the same library on a Mac at home (same Apple ID).


I have now got Apple Music and have used sync my library to make my whole library available on my phone (plus some added music from Apple Music that I’ve added).


My question is, can we still continue to listen simultaneously on two devices with the same Apple ID as we did before? Will it depend on whether what we are listening is Apple Music streamed content or content we actually physically own and have saved to the Mac?


hope that makes sense?!


thanks!

If you try playing music on two devices you'll be prompted to buy an Apple Music Family subscription.
