Abstract

Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a music player may receive a requested music file through a wireless communication. For example, the device may establish a peer-to-peer wireless communication path(s) with another device to initiate a request for a music file without a priori knowledge of whether the file is available to the another device. The device may then receive the music file from the remote device through a peer-to-peer wireless communication path(s).
