Sharing music with friends: the forgotten art of a good rec

In the age of shared playlists, we fire off tracks without really explaining why. The result: nobody actually listens.

Say why you're sharing

A track with a short note — "listen to the bridge near the end" — is far more likely to be played than a cold link dropped without context.

Also really listen to what people recommend back. Sharing works both ways, and that's how you broaden your taste.
