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,using at least a portion of the homogeneous metadata file to perform one or more operations chosen from the group consisting of;
generating a playlist file identifying one or more of the first and second media content files;
generating a library file identifying one or more of the first and second media content files;
rendering information indicative of at least a portion of the homogeneous metadata file in a format discernible by a user; and
providing an indication to a server indicative of the rendering of one or more of the first and second media content files.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations 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; 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; and using at least a portion of the homogeneous metadata file to perform one or more operations chosen from the group consisting of; generating a playlist file identifying one or more of the first and second media content files; generating a library file identifying one or more of the first and second media content files; rendering information indicative of at least a portion of the homogeneous metadata file in a format discernible by a user; and providing an indication to a server indicative of the rendering of one or more of the first and second media content files. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A client electronic device comprising
a processor; - and
a memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations 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; 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; and using at least a portion of the homogeneous metadata file to perform one or more operations chosen from the group consisting of; generating a playlist file identifying one or more of the first and second media content files; generating a library file identifying one or more of the first and second media content files; rendering information indicative of at least a portion of the homogeneous metadata file in a format discernible by a user; and providing an indication to a server indicative of the rendering of one or more of the first and second media content files. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
