Abstract
According to this invention, general addresses are given to a multi-layer information storage medium to facilitate handing of information. That is, it is possible to set generalized addresses for multiple information layers, and information indicating a condition for setting the general addresses, e.g., the contents of a disk ID zone in a rewritable zone of a lead-in area, is recorded on an information reproducing layer.
