In motion pictures this refers to music that is literally "in" the scene as opposed to the score or compilation score. It may be the music coming from the car stereo in a driving scene or from the PA in a dance hall. Actors may or may not perform the scene with the music playing in the background, but either way the audio for the source music you hear is almost always mixed in at the dubbing session.
