A system and method which may allow a user to drag and drop a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a web page onto a media sink on the desktop of the user's computer to download media which may be embedded in or linked to from the web page, so the media may be saved them locally for future consumption. The system may allow a user to subscribe to a URL so that the system may monitor new media as it becomes available at the URL and automatically download the new media. The system may also analyze web media content and its metadata that a user has downloaded, infer the user's preferences, search for web media based on the user's preferences, and recommend web media to the user. The system may consider what other users have downloaded when recommending web media to the user.
