iTunes Apple Id, iCloud id, iTunes Match, Apple Music, Family Sharing == Rocket Science
My family has been buying music with same Apple Id since Apple started selling music in 2003, lets refer to the id as: "bob@foo.com".
That original Apple id, "bob@foo.com" has been used to purchase content by everyone in my family since 2003, one card, one place to manage it.
In 2007 I moved myself and later my family out of the PC computing dump of winbloze and PC linux distributions and bought my first mac.
With my first mac I got a mac.com id, then later a me.com, then even later an iCloud.com, Same with family members, Oh brother!
After over ten years of family purchases I have a huge blob of purchased media content from Apple ranging from Sesame Street to Barry Manillow to 50 Cent.
Yes, I'm really digging those "For You" recommendations from Apple Music, might as well be recommendations for listening to penguin mating calls.
So, over 10 years later Apple finally comes out with a basic solution for one card with one place to manage the card and content for families, I guess better late than never.
All my iCloud tools, photos, mail, calendar, pages, etc. are linked to the mac.com, me.com, iCloud.com.
My purchased content and music services are linked to my original Apple id, "bob@me.com" from 2003.
iTunes Match uses that same id, "bob@foo.com" though I am the only one whose devices are setup to use iTunes Match.
Can I set up family sharing such that:
1) I, not my family can still get to my iTunes Match with "bob@foo.com"
2) I get Apple Music with bob@foo.com or one of the Apple babel address @icloud.com, mac.com or me.com? Should I care which one?
2) I can still reach my iCloud services and new family sharing services with my @icloud.com, @me.com, @mac,com ...
3) My family uses their existing iCloud.com or me.com or mac.com babel addresses to get to their existing iCloud services, new iCloud family Services and Apple Music
Are there a few great Apple Rocket Scientist to tell me how to make it "just work".
Or feel free to send me KB links, there are probably a few I haven't read yet.
