Method and apparatus for sharing content

A method of sharing audio content, the method being performed by an electronic device and comprising:

• controlling to display a first audio content list including one or more audio contents that are stored in the electronic device and are played by the electronic device, wherein the one or more audio contents includes a first audio content that is stored in the electronic device, and the first audio content is played by the electronic device;
• controlling to transmit, to a server, first information about the first audio content stored in the electronic device;
• based on the first information about the first audio content stored in the electronic device being transmitted to the server, controlling to receive, from the server, an indication indicating that a second audio content is stored in the server and indicating that the second audio content is included in a second audio content list including at least one audio content that is downloaded or streamed by another electronic device that is connected to the server, wherein the second audio content stored in the server corresponds to second information that matches the first information about the first audio content stored in the electronic device, the second audio content is downloaded or streamed by the other electronic device, and the second audio content list is transmitted to the other electronic device, and
• based on the indication indicating that the second audio content is stored in the server and indicating that the second audio content is included in the second audio content list being received, controlling to display the first audio content list along with an indicator indicating that the second audio content is stored in the server and indicating that the second audio content is included in the second audio content list,
• wherein a first size of the first audio content stored in the electronic device and a second size of the second audio content stored in the server are different.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for causing a computer included in an electronic device to at least:

• control to display a first audio content list including one or more audio contents that are stored in the electronic device and are played by the electronic device, wherein the one or more audio contents includes a first audio content that is stored in the electronic device, and the first audio content is played by the electronic device;
• control to transmit, to a server, first information about the first audio content stored in the electronic device;
• based on the first information about the first audio content stored in the electronic device being transmitted to the server, control to receive, from the server, an indication indicating that a second audio content is stored in the server and indicating that the second audio content is included in a second audio content list including at least one audio content that is downloaded or streamed by another electronic device that is connected to the server, wherein the second audio content stored in the server corresponds to second information that matches the first information about the first audio content stored in the electronic device, the second audio content is downloaded or streamed by the other electronic device, and the second audio content list is transmitted to the other electronic device;
• and
• based on the indication indicating that the second audio content is stored in the server and indicating that the second audio content is included in the second audio content list being received, control to display the first audio content list along with an indicator indicating that the second audio content is stored in the server and indicating that the second audio content is included in the second audio content list,
• wherein a first size of the first audio content stored in the electronic device and a second size of the second audio content stored in the server are different.
