Hello Friends! Could anyone please tell me what QTRAX is and its functionality?

QTRAX was a free, ad-supported P2P music platform (active roughly 2008–2019) that provided legal music downloads, streaming, and radio via its desktop client. It used DRM-wrapped files, with ad revenue shared with rights holders, and claimed licensing deals with majors and independents. Users could build playlists, access band info, and enjoy ad-supported services on Mac and Windows systems

QTRAX was a free, ad-supported P2P music service launched in 2008, offering legal downloads, streaming, and radio via its proprietary Songbird-based player. It wrapped tracks in DRM, compensating artists through ad revenue. QTRAX peaked in availability across platforms before folding by 2019.
