A multimedia-enabled device reports usage of multimedia content by the device to a remote system associated with the multimedia content. For example, the multimedia-enabled device maintains usage data at a multimedia-enabled device by tracking usage of multimedia content received from or associated with a content provider and reports the usage data to the content provider. In one or more embodiments, the multimedia-enabled device comprises a usage monitoring processor configured to maintain usage data at the multimedia-enabled device by tracking usage of multimedia content received from or associated with a content provider and report the usage data to the content provider. For example, the content provider may comprise an electronic system, such as a web server, that includes an information usage processor configured to associate usage metrics derived from collected usage data with the corresponding content. The availability of usage metrics, for example, can be used to guide prospective content users.
