I have a 10 year old who I’d like to set up to listen to music on her iPad but the only parental controls I can find are to block explicit music. There are tons of songs and artists that I’d really prefer her not to be listening to. Just because a song doesn’t have bad language doesn’t mean the content is appropriate for her. Do any of you have a good solution to only allowing particular songs/artists or perhaps have a different solution I missed or am unaware of? Thanks!
 
with streaming music services you can only block explicit music. some music is explicit but does not even have the E tag so it's still playable. some music says Clean but it's still explicit.

only way to fully control music selection is to download the songs mp3 files from online sync them to the device, meaning no apple music just offline downloads.
