The media manager comprises a monitoring utility and a server media update utility. The monitoring utility periodically checks for media files that are newly added in a client library of the client plurality and/or scanned from client storage, and detects newly added media. The server media update utility determines whether the newly added media. The server media update utility determines whether the newly added media is present on the server and copies the newly added media to the server if the newly added media is not present on the server or a lower quality version of the newly added media is present on the server.
