摘要： Systems, methods, and computer-readable media make media content (e.g., audio, video, or pictorial data) from multiple sources available through a single interface of a client device. The client device may be a portable media playing device (such as a laptop, Tablet PC, MP3 player, portable video player, or the like). By aggregating media content from plural sources (such as a desktop PC, a set top box, etc.) and providing a unified listing of the available media content from these multiple sources on the client device, a user can view all available media content at a single location, without making multiple connections to multiple different sources. Additionally, the user can pull media content from these multiple sources to the client device. Features also are provided to automatically synchronize, obtain, and update media content on the media source(s) and/or the client device. Various ways of handling digital rights management issues associated with copying at least some media content also are described.

摘要翻译： 系统，方法和计算机可读介质使来自多个源的媒体内容（例如，音频，视频或图形数据）可通过客户端设备的单个接口获得。 客户端设备可以是便携式媒体播放设备（诸如膝上型计算机，平板电脑，MP3播放器，便携式视频播放器等）。 通过聚合来自多个来源（例如台式PC，机顶盒等）的媒体内容，并且从客户端设备上的这些多个源提供可用媒体内容的统一列表，用户可以查看所有可用的媒体内容 单个位置，而不需要连接多个不同的源。 此外，用户可以将来自这些多个源的媒体内容拉到客户端设备。 还提供了功能来自动同步，获取和更新媒体源和/或客户端设备上的媒体内容。 还描述了处理与复制至少一些媒体内容相关联的数字版权管理问题的各种方式。
