1. A method comprising:
presenting, in a user interface on a local device, a media presentation region for concurrently presenting a first set of media items of a playlist, wherein a first subset of the first set of media items are stored locally and wherein a second subset of the first set of media item are unavailable locally;
presenting, concurrently with each of the first subset of the first set of media items in the media presentation region, a first graphical element indicating that a corresponding media item from the first subset is stored locally; and
presenting, concurrently with each of the second subset of the first set of media items in the media presentation region, a second graphical element indicating that a previously-initiated copying process for the corresponding media item of the second subset is incomplete, wherein the copying process stores the corresponding media item of the second subset from a remote device to the local device.
