Or try this...

Follow these steps to set up and use Home Sharing:

On the iPhone with the music, tap Settings > Music.
Scroll down to find Home Sharing.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Done.
Repeat this process on the iPhone you want to listen to music on.
Open the Music app on the iPhone you want to listen to music on.

Just use share it.
It has a very good and simple UI. See steps:
1. Just press send and choose songs
2. Have to join receivers WiFi network and that's it and it will be sent!!!
Also you can receive from others:) just as same!!

Thanks Julie, but there are some steps missing. Share it? Press send and choose songs? Both phones have wifi on and both phones have air drop on with everyone selected. Personal hot spots are off. Will this enable both of us to listen the music being played from/on the device that has the music on it?, Which is what we are attempting.

Sorry it wasn't a different answer.

I don't see how it could be if Apple are to stay within the confines of the law.

It is theoretically possible that someone would have music or other sound files to which they own the rights. But, mostly, I was being polite.

It is the reason why Apple prohibit sharing, in case you were curious. And as one who makes his living out of the music business I have unkind thoughts about thieves and those who want to help them.

The penalties are very high, as a quick perusal of the news will show.

If people own the music they may do as they wish with it, give it away or sell it. If they don't they are assisting criminal use of the material.

And (as you know) I have no time for politeness over legality.

You can't Airdrop music from the Music App on an iOS device.

Share content with AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Home Sharing has nothing to do with Airdrop.

You can't share songs, you don't own them, only a license to listen to them, what you want to do is illegal.

Thanks Idris, I've used Home sharing to view my phone on the television thru an Apple TV box. Could not see/find much use for this function. I knew that was not my solution.
