Abstract
A searching device for a tape reproducing apparatus reproducing signals recorded on a tape wound on first and second reels includes first and second pulse generators respectively generating a shot of pulse signal each time the first and second reels are rotated by a predetermined angle, first and second counters respectively counting outputs of the first and second pulse generators, detector for detecting a running distance of the tape on the basis of output data of counters and a reproduced signal level detection circuit for detecting whether the level of a reproduced signal from the tape is larger or smaller than a predetermined level. Searching of a selected music piece is performed in response to output data of the detector and a level detection signal from the reproduced signal level detection circuit.
