How to access all music via family sharing

I have setup family sharing, my daughter can see some of my music but not all. What do I need to do so that she can see my whole music library?

Hello, mummyholly.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

I understand that some Family Sharing content is not showing on your daughter's iTunes account. I would first make sure that Parental Controls or Restrictions are not enabled.

If the issue still persists, try going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

Thank you Jason for your time to reply, but it seems after looking at that information (which I had reviewed previously), it still isn't working. If I had copied the music from a CD into my library, rather than downloading it from the iTunes store, do you think that would be why she can't access all of my music?

mummyholly,

Thank you for the follow-up. Yes, this would be the reason that she is not able to see your music. Family sharing is limited to purchased iTunes content. The only other solutions that I could recommend would be syncing with your iTunes library or she can access your music via Home Sharing. Here is some additional information regarding these options.
