Abstract
A data reading apparatus and a data reading method are disclosed which are structured to efficiently read data from a recording medium so as to improve data processing speed. A reading-order control circuit obtains first total jump time which is taken when data is read from an optical disc in an order as first, second, third and fourth files and second total jump time which is taken when data is read in an order as first, third, second and fourth files. The reading-order control circuit determines whether or not the first total jump time is longer than the second total jump time. If the reading-order control circuit determines that the first total jump time is longer than the second total jump time, the reading-order control circuit controls an optical head to read data from the optical disc in the order as the first, third, second and the fourth files.
