Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for managing content are provided. The apparatus includes a processor that can communicate with a number of devices, identify content files stored by the devices, and provide a visible indicia of each device in which each content file is stored. The processor may also detect devices configured to store various types of content files and may receive user input selecting a particular content file for downloading, such as from a content provider's website. A list of the downloaded content files, along with information regarding each file, the devices capable of storing each file, and the devices actually used to store each file, may be displayed to the user. In this way, the user may be able to see a list of the various content files that have been downloaded as well as a visible indicia of where each file is stored.read more
