Abstract
An information recording medium and an information reproducing apparatus for use therewith for putting information into a system easily and quickly. The information recording medium records, in units of blocks, reproduction data such as voice data, image data and text data as well as reproduction data management information including address information and continuous reproduction information. The address information is built in a layered structure to designate addresses at which the reproduction data are stored. The continuous reproduction information specifies any one of two ways, i.e., continuously or selectively, in which to reproduce the reproduction data. The information reproducing apparatus comprises discriminating means for discriminating the continuous reproduction information in each block, and reproducing means for reproducing the reproduction data in units of blocks continuously or selectively depending on the result of the discrimination by the discriminating means.
