Definition
"La liste de lecture" refers to a collection of songs or audio tracks compiled and organized for continuous or selective listening, often created on digital music platforms to group favorite or thematically related music.
Etymology
The term "la liste de lecture" literally translates from French as "the list of reading," but in the context of music, it evolved to mean a list of tracks to be played. It combines "liste" meaning list, and "lecture" meaning reading or playing, borrowing from the idea of sequentially 'reading' music tracks. Did you know? The word "lecture" in French can mean both reading and playback, which led to this musical usage.
