Abstract
A remix processing section performs a remix process based on both meta data that are pre-generated corresponding to song data and that contain at least a time-based beat position and a file for deciding a remix pattern. A synchronous reproduction controlling section generates a master beat, sends the master beat to the remix processing section, and reproduces a plurality of songs based on individual entries of the meta data according to the remix process which the remix processing section has designated corresponding to the remix pattern and the meta data. A mixing section mixes songs reproduced by the synchronous reproduction controlling section. A music editing apparatus that can accomplish editing of overlaying or connecting whole or part of each of many songs recorded in a record medium such as a hard disk or a flash memory with their beats matched is provided.
