    Problem with Music app loading

    I have a M1 MBP running Big Sur 11.6. I have a music library of 31 GB, resident on the local HDD.

    iCloud Sharing 50GB iCloud storage?

    When was the ability to share iCloud storage for the 50GB tier introduced? Is it part of the iOS 15/iCloud+ improvements? I only use about 30GB and my son needs about 6GB, so I was reluctant to either him 50GB, but it seems that it can now be shared. I did not see this documented anywhere.
