Claim:
A method comprising: connecting with a target device at a source device; determining, at the source device, a storage capacity of the target device to store digital media; receiving, at the source device, a first list of digital media resident in the target device, wherein each digital media item of the first list is associated with a first number of points and the first number of points assigned to each digital media item of the first list is based on a user rating and at least one first additional criteria; determining whether the storage capacity of the target device is greater than a storage capacity consumed by digital media stored by the source device; providing, by the source device, an option to apply a points system to determine digital media items to transfer from the source device to the target device when the storage capacity of the target device is less than the storage capacity consumed by the digital media stored by the source device; assigning a second number of points, at the source device, to each digital media item of a list of the digital media stored in the source device in response to selection of the option to apply the points system by a user of the source device, wherein the second number of points is based on a user rating associated with each digital media item and based on at least one second additional criteria; generating, at the source device, a new transfer list based on the second number of points assigned to the digital media items of the list of digital media stored in the source device; sending digital media items from the source device to the target device that are included on the new transfer list and are not included on the first list; directing, by the source device, the target device to remove digital media items from the first list that are not included on the new transfer list; and receiving, at the source device, a second list of digital media items resident on the target device, wherein the second list includes digital media items common to the first list and the new transfer list, and wherein digital media items included on the first list and not on the new transfer list are not included in the second list, and wherein the digital media items of the first list and the second list are stored on the source device.
