Disclosed herein is a content transferring method for use with a first and a second apparatus interconnected by a communicating device. The method includes the steps of: if a storage medium managed by the second apparatus is larger in capacity than content data to be transferred from the first apparatus to the second apparatus, then performing a synchronizing process synchronizing the content data stored in the first apparatus with the content data to be stored onto the storage medium managed by the second apparatus; and if the storage medium managed by the second apparatus is smaller in capacity than the content data to be transferred from the first apparatus to the second apparatus, then performing a selective transferring process causing the first apparatus preferentially to select content data different from the content data stored on the storage medium managed by the second apparatus and to transfer the preferentially selected content data to the second apparatus.
