I have Family Apple Music. Can two or more family members listen to music at the same time? My son and I were listening at same time and it stop our songs and said music was playing on another device. Please explain

Yes, but each one should use it's own apple ID.

Apple Music and Family Sharing - Apple Support

same issue as above, we have separate Apple ID on each device and are connected through family sharing, family music subscription, etc.. not sure why we are getting this error all of the sudden, as it hasn't happened before. We've had family music subscription for over a year with no issues.

I've also been having this same issue. We have had an Apple Music subscription for the past year, connected through family sharing, and no playback issues. This began for us just last week. I've spent the last week on the phone with Apple "support" trying to find a solution. Will update if I find resolution. So far, I've even gone as far as creating a new organizer with a new subscription, and re-inviting all users to the group, and the issue persists.

seems to be a big issue that has developed over the last week or so, our family account is the same, all seperate ids, working fine before now they all claim they are being played elsewhere or just pausing randomly..its infuriating!

Just an update on troubleshooting steps that have not resolved the issue. Organizer account is not affected, but all family members are. Each computer is running iTunes on a mac, and signed into iCloud with the organizer's apple id, but iTunes with the individual apple id's. This is so we can share desktops and documents through iCloud across multiple machines, as well as be able to use Back to My Mac screen sharing. I thought this might be the issue, so I signed into iCloud using the family apple id's, as well as iTunes using the same id. Issue persists.

Also tried other things like signing out of iTunes, turning off "Show apple music features" in preferences, and signing back in. Issue persists. Definitely feels like something happening on the account side of things, and nothing that I can control or set up incorrectly. Next steps might be individual apple music accounts, but in the meantime, we're enjoying spotify family.
