Abstract
An audio signal recording apparatus is constructed to record a track number signal which allows a sure detection of a head position of a music piece. An audio signal to be recorded is delayed for the recording by a first predetermined time period. A start time of each music piece is detected by a transition from a silent state to a sound bearing state of the audio signal, and a track number signal is incremented at a timing of a second predetermined time period, which is shorter than the first predetermined time period, after a detection of the start time of a music piece, and the track number signal having been incremented.
