Title: Migration of feedback data to equivalent digital assets

Abstract:
Methods and systems for managing for migrating feedback data from one digital asset to another digital asset are disclosed. Typically, the one digital asset is available for distribution from a network-based media distribution system, but then subsequently is removed from distribution for any of a number of reasons. However, since the one digital asset has been in use at the network-based media distribution system, it has accumulated feedback data. Hence, if the another digital asset serves (e.g., due to equivalency) to replace the one digital asset, then the accumulated feedback data from the one digital asset can be transferred to the another digital asset. As a result, the another digital asset can benefit from the feedback data that was previously associated with the one digital assert.

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is a Continuation of and claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/740,031, filed on Jan. 11, 2013 entitled “Migration of Feedback Data to Equivalent Digital Assets,” which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND 
     Today, online stores, such as the iTunes™ Store provided by Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif., allow customers (i.e., online users) via the Internet to purchase or rent media items (such as music, videos) or software programs. Often, at online stores, numerous digital items are made available and are provided by various different providers, such as music labels, movie companies, and application developers. Software tools, such as iProducer™ and iTunes Connect™ available from Apple Inc., can assist providers with online submission of digital items to the iTunes™ Store. 
     Since submission involves transmission of digital files over the Internet to online stores for distribution, the submission process can be time consuming to a submitter. When the digital files are large or voluminous, the transmission of the digital files for the submission can take a substantial duration of time. The digital files pertain to digital assets. After the submission, if quality checks are satisfied, the digital assets can be available for distribution. Once available for distribution, the digital assets (e.g., media item(s)) can receive feedback from users, such as purchasers or users of the digital assets. This feedback is associated with a particular digital asset to which it was directed. With numerous users providing feedback data, reliable feedback data can be acquired and used to determine and present popularity data, charts, reviews, etc. The feedback data can be accumulated over time and also older feedback data can be decayed over time, so that the feedback data remains not only reliable but current. 
     When a digital asset that was previously submitted and distributed is removed from distribution due to errors, upgrades or corrections, the digital asset becomes no longer available. Often, in such cases, a replacement digital asset is submitted for distribution in place of the previously submitted and now removed digital asset. Indeed, the replacement digital asset is often considered in the content provider&#39;s eyes as an upgraded version of the previous digital asset. Unfortunately, however, the removal of the previous digital asset causes its feedback data to be removed. As a result, the feedback data for the previous data is lost. Consequently, there is a need for improved approaches to manage feedback data for digital assets that are submitted but then removed and resubmitted in an altered manner. 
     SUMMARY 
     The invention pertains to methods and systems for migrating feedback data from one digital asset to another digital asset. Typically, the one digital asset is available for distribution from a network-based media distribution system, but then subsequently is removed from distribution for any of a number of reasons. However, since the one digital asset has been in use at the network-based media distribution system, it has accumulated feedback data. Hence, if the another digital asset serves (e.g., due to equivalency) to replace the one digital asset, then the accumulated feedback data from the one digital asset can be transferred to the another digital asset. As a result, the another digital asset can benefit from the feedback data that was previously associated with the one digital assert. 
     The digital assets can, for example, pertain to digital media assets such as audio assets (e.g., songs, albums, podcasts, or audiobooks) or video assets (e.g., movies or television shows). The feedback data for the digital assets can pertain to one or more popularity data, rating data or review data. 
     Embodiments of the invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a method, system, device, or apparatus (including graphical user interface and computer readable medium). Several embodiments of the invention are discussed below. 
     As a method for migrating feedback data between digital assets, one embodiment can, for example, include at least: storing feedback data for a plurality of digital assets; determining that a prior digital asset of the plurality of digital assets has been replaced by a replacement digital asset; and associating the feedback data previously associated with the prior digital asset to the replacement digital asset. 
     As a method for transferring feedback data between digital media assets, one embodiment can, for example, include at least: permitting online distribution of a digital media asset; subsequently determining that the digital media asset is no longer available for distribution; determining a set of potential replacement digital media assets for the digital media asset; selecting a replacement digital media asset from the set of potential replacement digital media assets; and assigning feedback data associated with the digital media asset to the replacement digital media asset. 
     As a computer readable medium including at least computer program code for transferring feedback data between digital media assets, one embodiment can, for example, include at least: computer program code for permitting online distribution of a digital media asset; computer program code for subsequently determining that the digital media asset is no longer available for distribution; computer program code for accessing feedback data associated with the digital media asset; computer program code for determining a set of potential replacement digital media assets for the digital media asset; computer program code for selecting a replacement digital media asset from the set of potential replacement digital media assets; and computer program code for assigning the feedback data associated with the digital media asset to the replacement digital media asset. 
     As a system for managing feedback data for a plurality of digital assets that are available for playback or distribution, one embodiment can, for example, include at least: a media asset database configured to store digital data for the plurality of digital assets; a feedback database configured to store the feedback data for the plurality of digital assets; and a feedback migration manager configured to at least (i) determine that a prior digital asset of the plurality of digital assets has been replaced by a replacement digital asset, and (ii) update the feedback database to associate the feedback data previously associated with the prior digital asset to the replacement digital asset, provided that it is determined that the prior digital asset of the plurality of digital assets has been replaced by a replacement digital asset.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION 
     The invention pertains to methods and systems for migrating feedback data from one digital asset to another digital asset. Typically, the one digital asset is available for distribution from a network-based media distribution system, but then subsequently is removed from distribution for any of a number of reasons. However, since the one digital asset has been in use at the network-based media distribution system, it has accumulated feedback data. Hence, if the another digital asset serves (e.g., due to equivalency) to replace the one digital asset, then the accumulated feedback data from the one digital asset can be transferred to the another digital asset. As a result, the another digital asset can benefit from the feedback data that was previously associated with the one digital assert. 
     The digital assets can, for example, pertain to digital media assets such as audio assets (e.g., songs, albums, podcasts, or audiobooks) or video assets (e.g., movies or television shows). The feedback data for the digital assets can pertain to one or more of popularity data, rating data or review data. 
     The various aspects, features, embodiments or implementations of the invention described above can be used alone or in various combinations. 
     Embodiments of various aspects of the invention are discussed below with reference to  FIGS. 1A-5 . However, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the detailed description given herein with respect to these figures is for explanatory purposes as the invention extends beyond these limited embodiments. 
       FIG. 1A  illustrates a block diagram of a digital asset submission and distribution system  100  according to one embodiment. The digital asset submission and distribution system  100  includes a digital asset distribution site  102 . The digital asset distribution site  102  provides an online access point for distribution of various digital assets. For example, the digital asset distribution site  102  can be referred to as an online store. A digital asset submission and management system  104  operates to receive submissions of digital assets from various digital asset submitters. The digital asset submission and management system  104  can process submission of digital assets and authorize distribution of approved digital assets. The digital assets can be stored in a digital asset storage device  106 . In one embodiment, the digital asset storage device  106  includes a mass data store and one or more databases. The digital asset storage device  106  provides mass storage of the numerous digital assets that are available for distribution (e.g., purchase or rental). For example, digital assets that have been purchased can be accessed from the digital asset storage device  106  over a data network  108  by way of the digital asset distribution site  102 . Examples of digital assets include digital media assets (e.g., media items) or computer program products. Digital media assets can pertain to audio (e.g., songs, albums, podcasts, or audiobooks) or video (e.g., movies or television shows). Computer program products can pertain to applications (or application programs), animations, or presentations. 
     The digital asset submission and distribution system  100  also includes a first client  110 , a second client  112  and a third client  114 . Typically, the digital asset submission and distribution system  100  would include a plurality of different clients, such as the clients  110 ,  112 ,  114 . The first client  110  can include a network access program  116 . The second client  112  can include a digital asset submission program  118 . The third client  114  can include a network access program  120 . Some clients can also include both the network access program  116  and the digital asset submission program  118 . The network access program  116  is an application program (e.g., software application) that operates on the first client  110 , which is a computing device. The network access program  120  is an application program (e.g., software application) that operates on the third client  114 , which is a computing device. One example of a suitable network access program is a network browser (e.g., Microsoft Explorer™ or Safari™). Another example of a suitable network access program is iTunes™ offered by Apple Inc. The first client  110  is coupled to the digital asset distribution site  102  through the data network  108 . Hence, the first client  110  can interact with the digital asset distribution site  102  to review, purchase and/or manage digital assets. 
     The digital asset submission program  118  is also an application program (e.g., software application) that operates on the second client  112 , which is a computing device. The digital asset submission program  118  is used to submit digital assets to the digital asset submission and management system  104  for eventual distribution by the media distribution site  102 . Although the network access program  116  and the digital asset submission program  118  are shown in  FIG. 1A  as separate programs, it should be understood that such programs can be integrated into a single program or reside on the same client machine. 
     In the digital asset submission and distribution system  100  shown in  FIG. 1A , the digital assets are submitted to the digital asset submission and management system  104  by way of the digital asset submission program  118 . The digital assets that have been submitted (e.g., via the second client  112 ) are processed and then stored in the digital asset storage device  106 . The stored digital assets can then undergo some processing, such as an encoding, so that the format of the stored digital assets is uniform and suitable for distribution. 
     Thereafter, the stored digital assets can be made available for purchase from the digital asset distribution site  102 . Upon purchasing a particular digital asset, the digital asset distribution site  102  permits the digital data for the particular digital asset to be retrieved from the digital asset storage device  106  and then delivered (e.g., downloaded) from the digital asset distribution site  102  to the requesting client  110  through the data network  108 . In this regard, the digital asset distribution site  102  or some other delivery server (not shown) obtains the digital data corresponding to the particular digital asset from the digital asset storage device  106  and downloads such digital data through the data network  108  to the client  110 . The downloaded digital data can then be stored on the client  110 . In one embodiment, the downloaded digital data is encrypted as received at the client  110  but is decrypted and then perhaps re-encrypted before persistently stored on the client  110 . Thereafter, the client  110  can utilize (e.g., execute) the digital data of the digital asset at the client  110 . 
     The digital asset submission and distribution system  100  allows a user of the client  110  to utilize the network access program  116 ,  120  to browse, search or sort through a plurality of digital assets that can be purchased from the digital asset distribution site  102 . The network access program  116 ,  120  may allow the user to preview or demo some or all of a digital asset. In the event that the user of the network access program  116 ,  120  desires to purchase a particular digital asset, the user (via the network access program  116 ,  120 ) and the digital asset distribution site  102  can engage in an online commerce transaction in which the user pays for access rights to the particular digital asset. The network access program  116 ,  120  may also allow the user to provide feedback data for digital assets (e.g., digital assets that are played, purchased or otherwise used). The feedback data can be used to rank, chart or rate digital assets. 
     The submission and purchase of the digital assets can be achieved over the data network  108 . In other words, the submission and purchase of the digital assets can be achieved online. The purchase of media items online can also be referred to as electronic commerce (e-commerce). In one embodiment, the data network  108  includes at least a portion of the Internet. The clients  110 ,  112 ,  114  can vary with application but generally are computing devices that have memory storage. Often, the clients  110 ,  112 ,  114  are personal computers or other computing devices that are capable of storing and presenting media to their users. In one embodiment, the connections through the data network  108  between the digital asset distribution site  102  and the clients  110 ,  112 ,  114  can be through secure connections, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). 
     Although the digital asset distribution site  102 , the digital asset submission and management system  104  and the digital asset storage device  106  are shown in  FIG. 1A  as being separate components, it should be understood that any of these components can be combined into one or more apparatus. For example, the digital asset submission and management system  104  can be incorporated into the digital asset distribution site  102 . As another example, the digital asset storage device  106  can be incorporated into the digital asset distribution site  102  or the digital asset submission and management system  104 . 
     The client (or client device) can, for example, be a computing device. Examples of a computing device include a personal computer (e.g., desktop computer, notebook computer or netbook computer), or a portable handheld electronic device (e.g., Portable Digital Assistant (PDA), multi-function mobile telephone). 
       FIG. 1B  is a block diagram of a feedback management system  150  according to one embodiment. The feedback management system  150  can represent a portion of the digital asset submission and management system  104  illustrated in  FIG. 1A . That is, the digital asset submission and management system  104  can provide management of digital assets, such as media assets, that have been submitted, resubmitted, purchased and/or evaluated by or for users. 
     The feedback management system  150  illustrated in  FIG. 1B  includes a feedback migration manager  152  that manages the migration of feedback data from one media asset to another media asset. Typically, the feedback data is migrated when an active media asset is later deactivated and replaced by another active media asset. For example, users can provide direct or indirect feedback data that can be used to rank, chart or rate such media assets. 
     The feedback management system  150  also includes a media asset database  154  and a feedback database  156 . The media asset database  154  can store at least descriptive information (e.g. metadata) for each of a plurality of media assets. The feedback database  156  can store feedback data for a plurality of media assets. The feedback data for the digital assets (or media assets) can be provided by a user (or purchaser) of the associated digital asset. As noted above, the feedback data can pertain to popularity data, rating data or review data. The media asset database  154  and the feedback database  156  can be linked to associate with corresponding media assets. Alternatively, the media asset database  154  and the feedback database  156  can be integrated into a common database. Media content for each of the plurality of media assets can be stored in a storage device (e.g., digital asset storage device  106 ). 
     Still further, the feedback management system  150  can also include or receive media asset equivalency data  158 . The media asset equivalency data  158  can be derived from data associated with the plurality of media assets, such as data (e.g., metadata (e.g., metadata and other descriptive data) provided upon their submission to the media management system  100 . Equivalency can be determined using metadata, electronic signatures or audio signatures. The media asset equivalency data  158  can include data that identifies one or more potential equivalent media assets for a given media asset. The feedback migration manager  152  can utilize the media asset equivalency data  158  to determine an appropriate equivalent media asset to be associated with the feedback data that is being migrated. 
     The feedback management system  150  can also include or receive replacement selection criteria  160 . The replacement selection criteria  160  pertains to one or more rules that can be utilized by the feedback migration manager  152  to select an equivalent media asset to be the recipient of the migrated feedback data. The selected equivalent media asset is selected from the one or more potential equivalent media assets identified by the media asset equivalency data  158 . 
     During operation, the feedback management system  150  can be notified of a media asset removal  162 . The digital asset submission and management system  104  typically monitors and manages addition and removal of media assets, and can thus notify the feedback management system  150  of the media asset removal  163 . The removal of a media asset can be initiated by a user or by the system itself. In response to the media asset removal  162 , the feedback migration manager  152  determines an appropriate equivalent media asset, if any, that can be the beneficiary of feedback data previously established for the media item now being or recently removed. In this regard, the feedback migration manager  152  can access the media asset equivalency data  158  to identify a set of potential equivalent media assets that can be considered as recipients. In this regard, the feedback migration manager  152 , makes use of the replacement selection criteria  160  to determine a selected one of the equivalent media assets that have been identified by the media asset equivalency data  158 . After the selection of one of the equivalent media assets has been performed, the feedback migration manager  152  can interact with the feedback database  156  to associate the previously established feedback data for the media asset being removed to the selected one of the equivalent media assets. Additionally, the feedback migration manager  152  can also be unassociated the previously established feedback data from the media asset that has been removed. Hence, the feedback data can be transferred to the selected on of the equivalent media assets and thus is no longer associated with the removed media asset. 
     Advantageously, through migration of feedback data, resubmission of media assets (e.g., due to minor informalities or adjustments) can be performed without detrimentally impacting previously acquired feedback data. 
     The media asset equivalency data  158  can take a wide range of different formats. In one embodiment, the media asset equivalency data  158  can provide equivalency data in one or more predetermined data structures stored to one or more electronic files. The equivalency data can be periodically recreated such that it remains current. 
     As one example, in the case where the media assets are songs (such as singles or Extended Play (EP) items), the predetermined data structure can serve to identify a set of equivalent media assets (that are songs) for each of such songs. As a specific example, the predetermined data structure that identifies equivalent songs can have the following data structure:
         474385969c,4632|457510741eM,4632; 417849042,324,16
 
The explanation of the data structure is as follows:
   474385969=source song identifier (ID)   c=indicates the source song has a “Clean” parental advisory flag [i.e., not explicit]   4632=content provider identifier (ID) of source song   |=break between source song and equivalent songs   457510741=is the source song identifier (ID) for equivalent song #1   e=song has “Explicit” parental advisory flag   M=song has its “Mastered for iTunes” flag set to true (meaning the song file is encoded for high quality usage with iTunes)   4632=equivalent song&#39;s content provider identifier (ID)   ;=break between each equivalent song information   417849042=is the source song identifier (ID) for equivalent song #2   No ‘c’ or ‘e’ means the parental advisory is null or ‘Blank’ for the song   No ‘M’ means the song (and it&#39;s playlist) is not “Mastered for iTunes”   324=equivalent song&#39;s content provider identifier (ID)   16=subsumed by content provider means that at one point the content provider ID was 16, but content provider ID 324 subsumed it and is now the current content provider.       

     As another example, in the case where the media assets are playlists (such as albums), the predetermined data structure can serve to identify a set of equivalent media assets (that are playlists) for each of such playlists. As a specific example, the predetermined data structure that identifies equivalent playlists can have the following data structure:
         123eM,188,3:456,540|1122e,188:2233,541;1133,189:2233c,541,3       

     The explanation of the data structure is as follows:
         :=separates two playlists   123 and 456 are playlist identifiers (IDs)   e—appended after playlist ID or song ID indicates that playlist/song is explicit   M—appended after playlist ID or song ID indicates that playlist/song is mastered for iTunes   188,3=content provider for playlist 123 subsumed by family   540=content provider for playlist 456 subsumed by family   |=break separating playlist and song data   1122e and 2233 are matching song identifiers (IDs)   188=content provider for song 1122e subsumed by family   541=content provider for song 2233 subsumed by family   ;=separates pairs of matching songs   1133 and 2233c are matching song identifiers (IDs)   189=content provider for song 1133 subsumed by family   541,3=content provider for song 2233c subsumed by family       

       FIG. 2  is a flow diagram of a feedback association process  200  according to one embodiment. The feedback association process  200  can, for example, performed by the digital asset submission and management system  104  illustrated in  FIG. 1A  or the feedback migration manager  152  illustrated in  FIG. 1B . 
     The feedback association process  200  can store  202  feedback data for a plurality of digital assets. The feedback can concern popularity, ratings or reviews. The feedback data can also be updated periodically so that it remains current. The feedback data can be used in charting or ranking the plurality of digital assets. Typically, the feedback data is directly or indirectly associated with feedback provided by users (or purchasers) of the plurality of digital assets. The feedback data may be absolute data or may be accumulated data. 
     Besides storing  202  the feedback data for the plurality of digital assets, the feedback association process  200  can include a decision  204  that determines whether a prior digital asset has been replaced. Here, it should be understood that the availability of a particular digital asset from an online media system can change over time. The particular digital asset can be removed from the online media system for a variety of reasons, and its removal can be initiated by a user or by the system itself. The removed digital asset may also be replaced with a replacement digital asset that it intended to supersede the removed digital asset. For example, a particular digital asset that has been available from an online media system might be removed and replaced by essentially the same digital asset but with some improvement, such as an improved quality (e.g., encoding). As another example, a particular digital asset might be removed and replaced by the same digital asset after one or more defects therein have been corrected and then resubmitted. As still another example, a particular digital asset might be removed and replaced by the same digital asset after the ownership or management of the digital asset changes. In any event, when the decision  204  determines that a prior digital asset has been replaced, the feedback data previously associated with the prior digital asset can be associated with a replacement digital asset. Alternatively, when the decision  204  determines that a prior digital asset has not been replaced, the block  206  can be bypassed. Following the block  206 , or its being bypassed, the feedback association process  200  can end. 
     Hence, the feedback association process  200  is able to associate (e.g., migrate) prior feedback data from a prior digital asset to a replacement digital asset. As a result, the replacement digital asset can benefit from any advantageous feedback data that the prior digital asset was able to earn. Consequently, if a content provider needs to resubmit a digital asset (e.g., because of alterations, corrections or ownership/management changes), the resubmission can be done without a loss of feedback data. 
       FIG. 3A  is a flow diagram of a feedback assignment process  300  according to one embodiment. The feedback assignment process  300  can, for example, be performed by the digital asset submission and management system  104  illustrated in  FIG. 1A  or the feedback migration manager  152  illustrated in  FIG. 1B . 
     The feedback assignment process  300  can permit  302  online distribution of a digital media asset. Typically, a content provider would submit a digital media asset to an online distribution system and request online distribution of the digital media asset. Assuming the digital media asset is acceptable for online distribution, the online distribution system would permit  302  online distribution of the digital media asset. 
     Next, a decision  304  can determine whether a media asset is to be removed from distribution. When the decision  304  determines that a media asset is to be removed from distribution, feedback data associated with the digital media asset can be accessed  306 . In addition, a set of potential replacement digital media assets can be determined  308 . Then, a replacement digital media asset can be selected  310  from the set of potential replacement digital media assets. After the replacement digital media asset has been selected  310 , the feedback assignment process  300  can operate to assign  312  the feedback data associated with the digital media asset to the replacement digital media asset. Alternatively, when the decision  304  determines that a media asset has not been removed from distribution, the feedback assignment process  300  can bypass blocks  306 - 312  since no feedback assignment is being performed. Following the block  312 , or its being bypassed, the feedback assignment process  300  can end. 
       FIG. 3B  is a flow diagram of an equivalent selection process  320  according to one embodiment. The equivalent selection process  320  is, for example, suitable for use as or within the block  310  illustrated in  FIG. 3A . In this regard, the equivalent selection process  320  initially filters  322  out one or more digital media assets from the set of potential replacement digital media assets. A set of predetermined filter rules, which can be referred to as filter criteria, can be used to determine which, if any, of the digital media assets in the set of potential replacement digital media assets are to be filtered  322 . In one implementation, the filter criteria can depend on one or more criteria, such as availability, content provider, parental guidance level (or indication), quality, or time. After the filtering  322  of the one or more digital media assets, assuming that there are one or more digital media assets remaining in the filtered set of potential replacement digital media assets, the replacement digital media asset can be selected  324  from the filtered set of potential replacement digital media assets. A set of predetermined selection rules, which can be referred to as selection criteria, can be used to select  324  the replacement digital media asset from the filtered set of potential replacement digital media assets. In one implementation, the selection criteria can depend on one or more criteria, such as availability, content provider, parental guidance level (or indication), quality, or time. 
     Although the equivalent selection process  320  is shown as having separate filtering and selecting operations, in other embodiments, the filtering and selecting can be combined such that the replacement digital media asset is selected from the set of potential replacement digital media assets. The selection can be made dependent on criteria such as availability, content provider, parental guidance level (or indication), quality, or time. 
       FIG. 3C  is a flow diagram of an equivalent selection process  340  according to another embodiment. The equivalent selection process  340  is, for example, suitable for use as or within the block  310  illustrated in  FIG. 3A . In one embodiment, the equivalent selection process  340  can be performed as or within the filter block  322  illustrated in  FIG. 3B   
     According to the equivalent selection process  340 , availability of potential replacement media assets can be verified  342 . Although the set of potential replacement digital media assets may have been previously determined, the verification  342  can in any case check for present availability of the specific potential replacement media assets. Then, those of the potential replacement media assets that are presently unavailable can be removed  344 . Further, the equivalent selection process  340  can determine  346  a content provider for the media asset. Then, those potential replacement media assets that are not affiliated with the content provider can be removed  348  from the set of potential replacement digital media assets. Those affiliated with the content provider can include not only the content provider themselves by other provider that are grouped with the content provider (e.g., commonly owned providers). 
     Still further, the equivalent selection process  340  can determine  350  parental guidance for the media asset. Here, it is assumed that the media asset upon submission to the online distribution system causes an indication of parental guidance to be provided for the media asset. Hence, the determination  350  of the parental guidance for the media asset can be performed using the previously submitted information concerning the media asset. In addition, those one or more potential replacement media assets that have inconsistent parental guidance can be removed  352  from the potential replacement media assets. 
     Further still, the equivalent selection process  340  can determine  354  a quality level for the media asset. Then, those one or more potential replacement media assets that have a lower quality level than the quality level for the media asset can be removed  356 . 
       FIG. 3C  operates to filter out those of the potential replacement media assets that are not selectable as a replacement for the media asset that has been removed. The filtering provided by the equivalent selection process  340  illustrated in  FIG. 3C  can consider availability, content provider, parental guidance, and quality level. However, in general, the filtering can make use of any one or more of availability, content provider, parental guidance, and quality level. 
     After filtering has occurred (such as shown in  FIG. 3C ), additional processing can be performed to carry out a selection operation. In this regard,  FIG. 3D  illustrates a replacement selection process  360  according to one embodiment. The replacement selection process  360  can, for example, be performed by the block  310  illustrated in  FIG. 3A . In one embodiment, the replacement selection process  360  can be performed following the filter block  322  illustrated in  FIG. 3B  or following the equivalent selection process  340  illustrated in  FIG. 3C . 
     In any case, when the replacement selection process  360  is performed, a decision  362  can determine whether the number of potential replacement media assets after filtering (e.g.,  FIG. 3C ) is greater than one (1). When the decision  362  determines that the number of potential replacement media assets remaining after the filtering is not greater than one, then (assuming that there is one potential replacement media asset), the remaining replacement media asset can be selected  364  to be the selected replacement media asset. 
     Alternatively, when the decision  362  determines that the number of potential replacement media assets remaining after the filtering is greater than one, then one of the remaining replacement media assets is selected  366  to be the selected replacement media asset. In one implementation, the selection  366  from the remaining replacement media assets can be based on the one of the remaining replacement media assets that was most recently made available. In another implementation, the selection  366  from the remaining replacement media assets can be based on the one of the remaining replacement media assets that has the highest quality. In still another implementation, the selection  366  from the remaining replacement media assets can be based on a combination of (i) the remaining replacement media assets that was most recently made available, and (ii) the remaining replacement media assets that having the highest quality. Following the blocks  364  and  366 , the replacement selection process  360  can end with the selected replacement media asset having been selected. 
     The potential replacement media items are those media items that are considered to be equivalent for purposes of transfer of feedback data. One type of media assets are playlists. Equivalency of playlists can be determined in a variety of different ways.  FIGS. 4A and 4B  provide examples of equivalency determinations for playlists. 
       FIG. 4A  is a flow diagram of a playlist equivalency process  400  according to one embodiment. The playlist equivalency process  400  can evaluate whether a subsequently submitted playlist can be considered an equivalent to a prior submitted playlist. As discussed herein, if playlists are deemed sufficiently equivalent, feedback data is permitted to be transferred from the prior submitted playlist (which is often now removed or otherwise rendered unavailable) to the subsequently submitted playlist. 
     The playlist equivalency process  400  can begin with a decision  402  that determines whether a playlist identifier (ID) or title of the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist match. When the playlist identifier or title of the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist are determined to match, a decision  404  can determine whether the primary artist on both the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist match. When the decision  404  determines that the primary artist on both the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist match, a decision  406  can determine whether a song identifier (ID) or metadata for each of the songs on the respective playlists match. When the decision  406  determines that the song identifier or metadata for each of the songs on the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist do match, the respective playlist can be deemed  408  to be equivalent. As a result, the subsequently submitted playlist can be permitted to receive feedback data previously associated with the prior submitted playlist. On the other hand, when any of the decisions  402 - 406  of the playlist equivalency process  400  indicate that there is not a match, the respective playlists can be deemed  410  to be not equivalent. In this case, the subsequently submitted playlist is not permitted to receive the feedback data previously associated with the prior submitted playlist. Following the blocks  408  and  410 , the playlist equivalency process  400  can end. 
       FIG. 4B  is a flow diagram of a playlist equivalency process  450  according to one embodiment. The playlist equivalency process  450  can evaluate whether a subsequently submitted playlist can be considered an equivalent to a prior submitted playlist. As discussed herein, if playlists are deemed sufficiently equivalent, feedback data is permitted to be transferred from the prior submitted playlist (which is often now removed or otherwise rendered unavailable) to the subsequently submitted playlist. 
     The playlist equivalency process  450  can begin with a decision  452  that determines whether a playlist identifier (ID) or title of the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist match. When the playlist identifier or title of the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist are determined to match, a decision  454  can determine whether the track counts on the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist match. When the decision  454  determines that the track counts on the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist match, a decision  456  can determine whether the primary artist on both the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist match. When the decision  456  determines that the primary artist on both the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist match, a decision  458  can determine whether a song identifier (ID) or metadata for each of the songs on the respective playlists match. When the decision  458  determines that the song identifier or metadata for each of the songs on the prior submitted playlist and the subsequently submitted playlist match, a decision  460  can determine whether all of the tracks (excluding pre-orders) of the respective playlists match. When the decision  460  determines that all of the tracks (excluding pre-orders) of the respective playlists match, the respective playlists can be deemed  462  to be equivalent. As a result, the subsequently submitted playlist can be permitted to receive feedback data previously associated with the prior submitted playlist. 
     On the other hand, when any of the decisions  452 - 460  of the playlist equivalency process  450  indicate that there is not a match, the respective playlists can be deemed  464  to be not equivalent. In this case, the subsequently submitted playlist is not permitted to receive the feedback data previously associated with the prior submitted playlist. Following the blocks  462  and  464 , the playlist equivalency process  450  can end. 
     Several examples of playlist equivalency scenarios are provided below. These examples can be in accordance with the playlist equivalency process  450 .

     In one embodiment, after user feedback data has been assigned to a replacement digital asset, the feedback data can be used and further accumulated with respect to the replacement digital asset. However, in some instances, it may be desirable to transfer back the feedback data to the prior digital asset. For example, if the prior digital asset was removed or made unavailable inadvertently or by mistake, the feedback data can be transferred back to the prior digital asset. 
     In one embodiment, a user interface can assist an administrator to initiate a manual transfer of feedback data. The manual transfer can transfer from one digital asset to another, or can override an otherwise automatic transfer, or can mark one or more digital assets as having non-transferable feedback data. 
       FIG. 5  shows an exemplary computer system. One or more of the exemplary computer systems are suitable for use with at least one embodiment of the invention. The computer system  500  includes a display monitor  502  having a single or multi-screen display  504  (or multiple displays), a cabinet  506 , a keyboard  508 , and a mouse  510 . The cabinet  506  houses a drive  512 , such as for receiving a CD-ROM  514 , a system memory and a mass storage device (e.g., hard drive or solid-state drive) (not shown) which may be utilized to store retrievable software programs incorporating computer code that implements the embodiment of the invention, data for use with embodiment(s) of the invention, and the like. Although the CD-ROM  514  is shown as an exemplary computer readable medium, other computer readable digital video including floppy disk, tape, flash memory, system memory, and hard drive may be utilized. 
     The various aspects, features, embodiments or implementations of the invention described above can be used alone or in various combinations. 
     Embodiments of the invention can, for example, be implemented by software, hardware, or a combination of hardware and software. Embodiments of the invention can also be embodied as computer readable code on a computer readable medium. The computer readable medium is any data storage device that can store data which can thereafter be read by a computer system. Examples of the computer readable medium generally include read-only memory and random-access memory. More specific examples of computer readable medium are tangible and include Flash memory, EEPROM memory, memory card, CD-ROM, DVD, hard drive, magnetic tape, and optical data storage device. The computer readable medium can also be distributed over network-coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion. 
     Numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will become obvious to those skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. The description and representation herein are the common meanings used by those experienced or skilled in the art to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, and circuitry have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring aspects of the present invention. 
     In the foregoing description, reference to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearances of the phrase “in one embodiment” in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Further, the order of blocks in process flowcharts or diagrams representing one or more embodiments of the invention do not inherently indicate any particular order nor imply any limitations in the invention. 
     The many features and advantages of the invention are apparent from the written description. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, the invention should not be limited to the exact construction and operation as illustrated and described. Hence, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to as falling within the scope of the invention.
