Both of one audio information and another audio information are recorded on a same information record medium. An audio information reproducing apparatus is provided with: a detecting device for detecting said one audio information and said another audio information from the information record medium and also detecting a time period required for one beat of the detected another audio information; and an accumulating device for accumulating said one audio information detected from the information record medium to thereby continue reproducing and outputting said one audio information through the accumulating device. The audio information reproducing apparatus is also provided with a controlling device for controlling the detecting device to detect said another audio information and the time period required for one beat, within a time duration that the accumulated one audio information is being reproduced and outputted through the accumulating device.

Method of and apparatus for reproducing audio information, program storage device and computer data signal embodied in carrier wave

An apparatus for sampling partial audio information from audio information and storing it in a memory device provided with: a sampling device for sampling the partial audio information from the audio information in the sampling time which is a integral multiple of a time interval between each beat and the next in the audio information, and a storing device for storing the sampled partial audio information in a memory device.

An audio information reproducing apparatus reproduces one audio information and reproduces another audio information after said one audio information. The apparatus is provided with: a detecting device for detecting one time period required for one beat of said one audio information, and also detecting another time period for one beat of said another audio information; and a reproducing device for reproducing said another audio information continuously to said one audio information while controlling the detected another time period to be coincident with the detected one time period. Alternatively or additionally, the apparatus is provided with: a detecting device for detecting one beat timing which is a timing of a beat of said one audio information and also detecting another beat timing which is a timing of a beat of said another audio information, so that the reproducing device controls the detected another beat timing to be coincident with the detected one beat timing.

A novel cassette changer for a tape player wherein a tape cassette accommodating member and a tape driving mechanism are fixed relative to each other during selection of a tape cassette and which has a comparatively small overall size and requires a comparatively low power for moving a tape cassette between the tape cassette accommodating member and tape driving mechanism. The cassette changer comprises a plurality of cassette receiving members each for removably receiving a tape cassette thereon, an accommodating member for receiving the cassette receiving members in a row thereon, an actuating means for selectively moving a cassette receiving members from a home position to a transfer position, a tape driving mechanism mounted in a fixed relationship with respect to the accommodating member for receiving a tape cassette thereon and driving a tape of the tape cassette, and a carrier for receiving a tape cassette from the selected cassette receiving member moved to the transfer position and setting the tape cassette in position onto the tape driving mechanism.
