Previous to Family Sharing, families had to use one Apple ID for all their purchases—which can be a pain on a number of levels. When you sign up for an Apple Music Family plan, which supports simultaneous listening for up to six devices or accounts, all the infrastructure is being taken care of by Family Sharing. In theory, getting your family on board is as simple as signing up for Family Sharing, purchasing a Family subscription, and having your other family members log in.</p>  <h2>How to sign up for Apple Music's family plan</h2> <p><strong>Note: If your family members have already signed up for an Apple Music free trial, this won't work; you'll have to wait until after their free trial period is over to sign them up as part of your Family plan.</strong></p> <ol><li>Set up a Family Sharing account (http://www.imore.com/how-use-family-sharing-ultimate-guide), if you haven't already, and invite the people (http://www.imore.com/how-use-family-sharing-itunes-and-app-store-accounts-ios-8) you'd like to share your Apple Music subscription with.</li> <li>Sign up for Apple Music (http://www.imore.com/how-sign-apple-music-your-iphone-or-ipad) with the administrator of your Family Sharing account, and choose Family when prompted to sign up for a plan. (If you've already chosen the Individual plan, you can change this by tapping the Account icon in the upper left corner of the Music app, then going to <strong>View Apple ID > Manage > Subscriptions > Apple Music Membership</strong>.)
