A CPUcreates genre ranks such that music contents that have been more frequently, for example, reproduced are more highly ranked.

The CPUselects a play list corresponding to a moving tempo obtained from a tempo detection sectionand selects music content categorized as a highly ranked genre in the genre ranks from those corresponding to the selected play list.
