Abstract

This invention relates to a karaoke CD format and a device for controlling audio signals utilizing the karaoke CD format which provides a user with selective reproduction of the voice of a player. The karaoke CD format includes a CD format divided into video sectors and audio sectors. The audio sectors are further divided into a part for recording accompaniment sound and playing sound at the same time and a part for recording accompaniment sound only. There is provided record coding information for distinguishing the parts.An apparatus, method and storage medium for reproducing a digital data, are discussed. According to an embodiment, the apparatus includes a demodulator configured to demodulate digital audio data to restore an original data; a data processor configured to receive the digital audio data demodulated by the demodulator, and process at least one of first and second types of digital audio data, the data processor including a system time clock, a memory configured to store the first and second types of digital audio data, and an audio presentation part configured to receive the system time clock to control a presentation timing of the first or second types of digital audio data; and a controller, coupled to the data processor, configured to control the data processor to output the first or second types of the digital audio data in response to the second information.
