ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for managing a library of media assets, such as songs and videos, associated with a particular user are described in this disclosure. Through the systems described, a user will have access via a network to the user's collection of media assets, as well as having local access to the same assets, regardless of where the assets actually reside on the network. Media assets, regardless of their location, may be added to the user's collection by adding them to a master list maintained by a media asset manager on a remote device. The media asset manager can then provide the user access to any listed media asset regardless of the user's location and device. The media asset manager further may update the user's local collection to reflect any changes made to the master list.
