Abstract
In a system comprising media files resident on various devices which can interconnect and provide indices of their media library content, an organization method may provide an aggregate view of the media library of all connected devices ordering the media library contents of various connected devices from the point of view of the device from which the view of the aggregate library will be shown. This point-of-access-centric view of the library may be formed by prioritizing one or more of relevance, reliability, or proximity of the connected devices from the perspective of the viewing device.
