Abstract
A recording medium and a method for recording and reproducing a recording medium in which the silent time between successive selections is reduced. An analog sound signal to be recorded is digitized and divided into blocks for recording. For each block, a time signal indicating the total reproducing time for the block is recorded. Upon reproduction, the reproduction time is monitored to determine whether is exceeds the value indicated by the respective time signal. If so, reproduction of the current selection is immediately terminated and reproduction of the next selection in sequence is commenced.
