By this logic I can’t invite my friends over to listen to it either though right? That seems like it should be legal. I thought there was some legal threshold where it is no longer personal use but I could be wrong

I'm not a lawyer.

I believe the difference is the 'broadcasting' part. Same with streaming movies over a Zoom call.

You aren't sitting at home, privately listening to music with friends, though. You're streaming the music to a people in other places so they can listen to it.

Those don't sound the same to me.

It does, however, sound like the cyberspace equivalent to the meatspace activity in question.
