Abstract
The computer manages media content by receiving, at a first memory storage location, a first file having one or more associated properties. The computer identifies a second file, at a second memory storage location, having one or more associated properties that are substantially similar to the first file. The computer compares the one or more properties of the first file to the one or more properties of the second file. The computer determines whether to replace the first file with the second file, based on the comparison of the one or more properties of the first file to the one or more properties of the second file. Responsive to determining to replace the first file with the second file, the computer stores at the first memory storage location a link to the second memory storage location.
