Abstract
An information reproducing apparatus in which the compressed information read from a disc is written to the memory, the written compressed information is read out in the order of writing and is supplied to an expansion device to obtain reproduced information. Writing of the compressed information to the memory is stopped when the amount of compressed information written to the memory increases to a first predetermined amount and writing of the compressed information to the memory is restarted when the amount of compressed information written decreases to a second predetermined amount which is smaller than the first predetermined amount and which is an amount corresponding to the compression ratio of the compressed information. The rotation speed of a spindle motor during a writing interruption period is lower than that during a writing period.
