How to have multiple iTunes libraries?

My family all has shares ones iTunes account that has apple music. I want to be able to delete music off of my computer and not delete it across all devices. When I tried to turn off iCloud Music Sharing, it wouldn't allow me to download any new music on my computer. I tried setting up another library on my computer, but when I do that it automatically downloads all the music onto it, because of iCloud Music Sharing.


So essentially, how to delete music on one device with it deleting off of all of them?

MacBook Air, iOS 12

Lexi Katherine,


Trying to do all that with a single iTunes account is just inviting everyone to step on each other's music! I strongly suggest that you consider a separate account for each person, and make use of iTunes Family Sharing and an Apple Music family plan. That will allow everyone to share music but still each manage their own library.
