1. A method comprising:
- determining the presence of pre-existing metadata associated with at least one local media content file;
determining at least one data field contained within the pre-existing metadata; and
generating a homogeneous metadata file for the at least one local media content file by mapping data contained within the at least one data field of the pre-existing metadata into at least one defined data field of the homogeneous metadata file.
