Hi, Ckconfused!


Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. If I understand your post, you had previously been using Apple Music on two separate devices, and want to know how your libraries will be affected now that you've set up Family Sharing. I'm happy to help!

If you were previously using separate Apple ID accounts for iCloud and Apple Music on each device, nothing will happen to your libraries. Your playlists will stay as they are on each device. If you were using the same Apple ID previously, and now have separate Apple IDs, the person who keeps the old Apple ID will have no change, while the person using the new Apple ID will need to add content to their library, set up their playlists, etc again.

You can get more information on the Apple Music Family subscription, including how to set it up and use it, here: Get an Apple Music Family subscription - Apple Support , and you can get help changing your subscription type (for example, going from an individual to a family membership) here: Manage your Apple Music subscription on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV - Apple Support .

Have a great day.
