Abstract
A sound reproducing apparatus () includes a slot () to which a memory card () is attached. A decoding software for decoding sound data is stored in an audio file recorded on the memory card (). The decoding software is loaded into a RAM () by a CPU () when it is not possible to decode the sound data by the decoding software stored on a ROM (). Therefore, a DSP () decodes sound data read from the same audio file in accordance with the decoding software loaded from the audio file.
