A method and apparatus for sharing media content (12) between electronic equipment includes transferring session data (14) from a first electronic equipment (10a) to a second electronic equipment (10b), said session data including a queue of media content executing or executable on the first electronic equipment (10a), and transferring media content (12) identified in the session data to the second electronic equipment (10b). Media content (12) which is available to a first electronic device (10a), may be shared with a second electronic device (10b). The first electronic device (10a) sends session data (14), which can be a play list to the second device (10b). If the second device (10b) wants to play the media content (12) according to the session data (14), it will first check whether it has the media content (12) already in memory, and if not it will then search other devices (10c, 10d, 16, 18) including the first electronic device (10a).
