Abstract
A tape recorder may be provided with a memory which stores data regarding the unrecorded portion remaining on each of a plurality of recording tapes. The data may represent an amount of the unrecorded portion and/or the location thereof, e.g., in the form of a counter value. The data stored in the memory is displayed in response to an input from an operating panel, thus making it possible to readily identify a tape having a remaining time equal to or greater than the quantity of information to be recorded, and to quickly advance the tape to the beginning of its unrecorded portion.
