1. A computer-readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, perform a method for managing metadata associated with digital media content, the method comprising:

  • identifying a first digital media content source and a second digital media content source;

    identifying a first set of metadata items associated with digital media content distributable via the first digital media content source, the metadata items within the first set of metadata having a first format;

    identifying a second set of metadata items associated with digital media content distributable via the second digital media content source, the metadata items within the second set of metadata items having a second format different from the first format;

    transcribing the metadata items within the first set of metadata items and the second set of metadata items in accordance with a common format, the common format serving as a universal medium for exchange of information about digital media content from different digital media content sources;

    based on the common schema, identifying a relationship between at least one transcribed metadata item originating from the first set of metadata items and at least one transcribed metadata item originating from the second set of metadata items;

    based on the identified relationship, arranging for inclusion of the at least one transcribed metadata item originating from the first set of metadata items and the at least one transcribed metadata item originating from the second set of metadata items in a data set; and

    arranging for access to the data set to provide a personal media experience to a user.
