Abstract
Partial information such as the beginning data of each of chapters is read from a CD and written in a HDD at a higher speed than that in a normal reproduction while the normal reproduction is carried out using a buffer memory . After the chapters relative to all CDs have been written in the HDD , reproduction is carried out in switching between the information remaining in the HDD and the information included in the CD. This configuration makes it unnecessary to record the information beforehand, and permits an unreproduciable blank in reproduction to be filled with audio information during track search or CD change while the reproduction is carried out normally.
