Methods and apparatus are provided for matching media files stored in a media player device to media files stored in a computing device. In one embodiment, a method includes scanning a media player device for one or more media files, detecting an identifier associated with each media file stored on the media player device, wherein identifiers are generated by a media management application, and checking if detected identifiers associated with media files stored in the media player device correspond to identifiers associated with media files stored in the computing device. The method may also include determining one or more graphical indicators for a user interface of the media management application based on said checking. According to another embodiment, a user interface may be provided for a media management application by a computing device.
