STORAGE MEDIUM INCLUDING APPLICATION FOR OBTAINING META DATA, APPARATUS FOR OBTAINING META DATA, AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

An information storing medium including application for acquiring meta data and an apparatus and a method for acquiring the meta data are provided to update previously stored meta data for a disc library or add meta data for a disc library with respect to a new information storing medium by downloading the meta data for the disc library from a server through a network. A local storage(320) stores meta data for a disc library read from an information storing medium or meta data for a disc library downloaded from a server. A disc library manager(330) extracts information necessary for downloading the meta data for the disc library from the server, and controls connection with the server on the basis of the necessary information to download the meta data for the disc library from the server. A network unit(340) downloads the meta data for the disc library from the server.
