Abstract
An archiving system is provided for archiving a user'"'"'s media collection and refining recommendations made to the user by an e-commerce service, such as an e-commerce website, based on the archive of the user'"'"'s media collection. In general, a central archiving system interacts with a user system to archive a user'"'"'s media collection. Thereafter, while the user is interacting with the e-commerce service, a list of recommended media for the user is generated and provided to the archiving system. The archiving system refines the list based on the archive of the user'"'"'s media collection. Optionally, the list of recommended media may be further refined based on a user profile and play history of the user. The refined list of recommended media is returned to the e-commerce service and presented to the user.
