Abstract
Recordable areas are recorded such that, if a recordable area exists on the outermost position of the disc, it is made into the head recordable area. The other recordable areas are linked from the inner peripheral side toward the outer peripheral side in order of address. With this method, the audio-recording is executed such that the segment division is minimized and the distance between segments is minimized. This makes it possible to shorten the segment access time and minimize the number of accessing operations required. In this way, sound-interruption and the deterioration of the shock-proof function in reproducing action can be prevented.
