Can I share my music library with my wife's phone?

October 10, 2021 9:46 AM

Title says it all. I have iTunes Match, I've added her to a Family group, but alas, the music doesn't show up on her phone at all. Nor does the media sharing option appear in iTunes on my computer. Any idea how to make this happen?

iTunes Match is not included in family sharing, unfortunately. You can get around this by having her log into your Apple ID (rather than her own) for music & app purchases. I can't locate the details at the moment, but will try to do that and circle back if no one else chimes in with the info.

Response by poster: Ok what about sharing all the music on my computer with her while she's at home aka they're both on the same network? I've turned that on in iTunes but can't find a place on her phone to get to that music.

Best answer: I use CopyTrans to manage my music - it might be helpful.
