Abstract
Methods for creation of a content association system in which a client application communicates to a distributed hash table network an association between one piece of content in a client's library and one other piece of content in the client's library are described. The client creates a hash for a first file in the library and a reference to a second file in the library. The client stores the reference to the second file in the distributed hash table at a node corresponding to the hash. To discover files associated with a file in a peer's library, the peer creates a hash for a file in its library and retrieves references to other files from the distributed hash table.
