1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, from a plurality of first devices, supplementary data associated with content data, the devices being configured to obtain the supplementary data using corresponding condition data;
generating, using a processor, a content list based on the received supplementary data; and
generating an instruction to transmit data associated with the content list to a second device, the data instructing the second device to present at least a portion of the content list data to a user, wherein generating the instruction comprises;
detecting a transmission capacity of a communications network associated with the second device;
establishing a data structure for the content list data based on the detected transmission capacity; and
generating the content list data in accordance with the established data structure, the content list data comprising the at least a portion of the condition data and information identifying at least one content element of the content list.

Abstract
The present invention provides a content data recording/reproducing device, comprising a communication unit that engages in communication with an external device, a storage unit that stores content data and additional data related to the content data, a content data extraction unit that selectively extracts the content data from the storage unit based upon condition data received at the communication unit from the external device and the additional data stored in the storage unit and a contents list generation unit that generates a contents list based upon the condition data and additional data corresponding to the content data extracted by the content data extraction unit.
