Abstract
A mini disc (MD) player has the capability of displaying data without problems during playback. When plural mini discs should be played back consecutively, TOC (table of contents) data are read from all of these discs. Then, the discs are played back in succession. When compressed audio data derived from these discs are stored in a DRAM, a disc identification flag is added to every disc.
