The recording device includes a recording medium control unitfor controlling recording and reproduction of data on a recording mediumincluding a data area in which data rows can be recorded as files and a specific area in which management information for the files can be recorded, and a recording control unitfor time-divisionally recording, through the recording medium control unit, a first data row as a first file and a second data as a second file. The recording control unitreserves an area in the data area and records the first data row in the reserved area in sequence, and when switching from the first data row to the second data row for recording, the recording control unitrewrites the management information corresponding to the end of the first file recorded in the reserved area immediately before the switching such that the first file ends at the end and records the second data row from a location subsequent to the end of the first file in the reserved area.
