Abstract
Media metadata is accessible for a plurality of media items (See FIG. 12). The media metadata includes a number of strings to identify information regarding the media items (See FIG. 12). Phonetic metadata is associated the number of strings of the media metadata (See FIG. 12). Each portion of the phonetic metadata is stored in an original language of the string (See FIG. 12).
