Abstract
Methods and systems are described that enhance a user's experience when playing a DVD through an enabled media player. One or more databases, managed by a server, maintain metadata associated with DVDs. When a DVD is loaded using the enabled media player, a DVD ID is automatically determined and used to search the metadata database. A user can confirm metadata that is found, causing the metadata to be stored in a local media library. Alternatively, the user can enter other search criteria to be used to locate different DVD metadata. Additionally, a user can either edit metadata that is returned from the metadata database, or manually enter metadata to be associated with a particular DVD. The user-edited or user-entered metadata can then be stored in the local media library.
