Abstract
A data reproducing method in which abrupt sound transitions as the end of a recorded tape is reached are eliminated. A predetermined time period corresponding to the length of the tape is inputted, and a time instant earlier by a predetermined period of time than the end of the time period at which the end of the tape is encountered is calculated. While plural pieces of music are being reproduced in a specified order for recording on the tape, a sum of the total time from the start of reproduction is iteratively calculated. When the sum reaches the calculated period of time, the total output level is gradually reduced to zero.
