Abstract
The invention is associated with an information processing apparatus and method, a control program for the information apparatus, and a recording medium recording the control program. As directed by a host apparatus, control data are reproduced by controlling access means, outputting at least file control data to a host apparatus, and at least identification data are held in a predetermined memory; in response to a read directive based on the control data transmitted from the host apparatus, a control unit is sequentially detected in which the desired file associated with the read directive is sequentially recorded on the basis of the identification data held in the predetermined memory; and the access means is controlled on the basis of a result of the detection to sequentially reproduce and output data of files associated with the read directive to the host apparatus.
