Abstract
A record carrier having addressable information included thereon, including at least one track having audio information and additional non-audio information (e.g., CD-I information), and apparatus for reading and/or reproducing certain of the information included in such a track. That track includes (a) a prepart having (i) the additional non-audio information and (ii) pause information (which results in reproduction of silence) and (b) an audio part having the audio information. The additional non-audio information is located before the pause information, and the prepart is located before the audio part. The apparatus can determine whether a track of a record carrier having audio information included therein also includes additional non-audio information and/or can prohibit reproduction of the additional non-audio information.
