Abstract
A system for collecting and analyzing metadata from peer-to-peer (P2P) media networks. The present invention gathers metadata about P2P media from the P2P network directly as well as relevant 3rd party social networks where that media is discussed. Users access the system via any Internet enabled device. The users' media streaming behavior is collected so that it can determine what they like. That data is indexed for future analysis. The system also monitors social network dialog keyed to the media (e.g. titles, actors, singers). The system then can identify related media on P2P networks and source it so that it is immediately available. The social data collection agents then extract data about the media that users of social networks are providing for the computing of demand for the media and/or performers.
