  • Publication number: 20140244600
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer-readable media for managing duplicate media items. The system first analyzes a first file from a first source, wherein the first file is a duplicate of a second file. Next, the system deduplicates the first file and the second file to yield a deduplicated file. The system then selects metadata associated with at least one of the first file or the second file to be assigned as metadata for the deduplicated file, the metadata being selected based on a priority preference.
