Abstract: A method for managing the contents of a collection of media objects each having one or more identifying parameters. An image representative of a media object within the collection of media objects that is determined to have one or more specified identifying parameters is displayed. An image representative of a media object determined to be missing from the collection of media objects that is known to have the one or more specified identifying parameters is also displayed. In this manner, for example, a consumer may be informed of a need to add the media object determined to be missing from the collection of media object to the media object library.
