Abstract
A media player device configured to store and play content for a user uses an implicit rank to add and delete content from the device. The rank is determined implicitly by gathering available information about a user directly and by monitoring user listening activity. The gathered information about the user and the monitored information are used to determine the user rank. Content is managed by comparing content stored on the media player device to the user rank to determine a preference order for storing content on the device; receiving content at the media player device; deleting one or more stored content objects from a computer readable storage medium so there is sufficient space to store the received content; and storing the received content on the computer readable storage medium.
