music sharing
Exchanging audio files
Music sharing is the distribution of audio recordings between people, typically through digital means.
The term emerged with file-sharing networks in the late 1990s and carried connotations of piracy: The record industry sued thousands of users for illegal music sharing.
The practice has largely been supplanted by streaming services, though sharing playlists remains common.
