According to one aspect, interaction between a host computer and a media player, such as automatic synchronization of media contents stored on a media player with media contents stored on a host computer, can be restricted. According to another aspect, management of media items residing on a media player can be performed at and by a host computer for the media player. According to still another aspect, media content can be played by a media player in accordance with quality settings established for the media content at the host computer.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/277,418, filed Oct. 21, 2002, and entitled ��INTELLIGENT INTERACTION BETWEEN MEDIA PLAYER AND HOST COMPUTER,�� which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, and which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/118,069, filed Apr. 5, 2002, and entitled ��INTELLIGENT SYNCHRONIZATION OF MEDIA PLAYER WITH HOST COMPUTER,�� which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, and which claimed the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/346,235, filed Oct. 22, 2001, and entitled ��INTELLIGENT SYNCHRONIZATION OF MEDIA PLAYER WITH HOST COMPUTER,�� which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
U.S. application Ser. No. 10/277,418 also claims the benefit of priority of: (i) U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/396,836, filed Jul. 16, 2002, and entitled ��INTELLIGENT INTERACTION BETWEEN MEDIA PLAYER AND HOST COMPUTER,�� which is hereby incorporated herein by reference; and (ii) U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/346,235, filed Oct. 22, 2001, and entitled ��INTELLIGENT SYNCHRONIZATION OF MEDIA PLAYER WITH HOST COMPUTER,�� which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Hence, in one embodiment, the media player 704 has limited or no capability to manage media items on the media player 704. However, the management module 706 within the host computer 702 can indirectly manage the media items residing on the media player 704. For example, to ��add�� a media item to the media player 704, the management module 706 serves to identify the media item to be added to the media player 704 from the media store 708 and then causes the identified media item to be delivered to the media player 704. As another example, to ��delete�� a media item from the media player 704, the management module 706 serves to identify the media item to be deleted from the media store 708 and then causes the identified media item to be deleted from the media player 704. As still another example, if changes (i.e., alterations) to characteristics of a media item were made at the host computer 702 using the management module 706, then such characteristics can also be carried over to the corresponding media item on the media player 704. In one implementation, the additions, deletions and/or changes occur in a batch-like process during synchronization of the media items on the media player 704 with the media items on the host computer 702.
