My family of four are all using the same Apple ID for our iPhones as well as several iPads. From what I've read, the preferred practice is for each family member to have their own Apple ID. We need to share our calendar and do not want to lose access to our music. What do you recommend at this point?

Hello phoge,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to share music and calendars with the family. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
Once you’ve set up Family Sharing, all the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps ever purchased by family members are immediately available to everyone else in the family. And, of course, so are new purchases.
Family Sharing creates a family calendar where everyone can view, add, or change events and appointments, and they can also get an alert when something changes
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario
My family of four are all sharing the same Apple ID so that we can share the calendar. Is this a disadvantage?
