Abstract
A read only disc according to the present invention has a spiral recording track formed on the surface thereof. The recording track includes a plurality of record unit blocks formed continuously by an optical recording method, wherein each record unit block includes a dubbing permitted area and a dubbing inhibited area. Digital audio information having compressed data is recorded in the dubbing permitted area. On the other hand, display data associated with the digital audio information is recorded in the dubbing inhibited area. Thus, digital dubbing of digital audio information can be carried out and dubbing of display data is prevented to ensure dominance of the read only disc as a master software.
