• initiate, using the graphic user interface on the communications device of the first user, a request by the first user received by the host server to pair at least a portion of the selected digital visual media content file with at least a portion of the selected digital music content file, whereby digital visual media content and digital music content of the selected digital visual media content file and the selected digital music content file, respectively, are configured to be presented in parallel while remaining separate and without creation of a single combined file having both the selected digital visual media content file and the selected digital music content file;
• share, upon a request by the first user received by the host server, the paired digital visual media content file with the selected digital music content file with at least one additional user, thereby creating a visual social media post with corresponding, music soundtrack on a communications device of the at least one additional user;
