1. An information processing apparatus that replicates and stores content data stored in an external device, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a content data storing section that stores first content data;
a metadata storing section that stores first metadata related to the first content data;
a content data detecting section that detects whether second content data that is the same content data as the first content data is stored in the external device;
a comparison section that compares second metadata related to the second content data stored in the external device and the first metadata when the content data detecting section detects that the second content data is stored in the external device;
an instruction inputting section that causes an operator to input an instruction related to a changing process of the first metadata when the first metadata and the second metadata are different based on a comparison result of the comparison section; and
a metadata changing section that changes the first metadata based on the instruction of the operator inputted through the instruction inputting section.

Abstract
The present invention provides an information processing apparatus that replicates and stores content data stored in an external device, the information processing apparatus comprising: a content data storing section that stores first content data; a metadata storing section that stores first metadata of the first content data; a content data detecting section that detects whether second content data with the same content as the first content data is stored in the external device; a comparison section that compares second metadata of the second content data and the first metadata when the second content data is detected; an instruction inputting section that causes an operator to input an instruction related to a changing process of the first metadata when the first metadata and the second metadata are different; and a metadata changing section that changes the first metadata based on the instruction of the operator.

7. An information processing method of replicating and storing content data stored in an external device in an information processing apparatus, the information processing method comprising:
-
storing first content data and first metadata related to the first content data in the information processing apparatus; detecting whether second content data that is the same as the first content data is stored in the external device; comparing the first metadata and second metadata related to the second content data stored in the external device when the second content data is detected; prompting an operator to input an instruction related to a changing process of the first metadata when the first metadata and the second metadata are different; and changing the first metadata based on the inputted instruction of the operator. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A program storage medium storing a program for replicating and storing content data stored in an external device in a computer, the program comprising:
-
a step of storing first content data and first metadata related to the first content data in the computer; a step of detecting whether second content data that is the same as the first content data is stored in the external device; a step of comparing the first metadata and the second metadata related to the second content data stored in the external device when the second content data is detected; a step of prompting an operator to input an instruction related to a changing process of the first metadata when the first metadata and the second metadata are different; and a step of changing the first metadata based on the inputted instruction of the operator. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
