Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an audio reproducing apparatus which edits a music piece to be reproduced and its reproduction order as a program and reproduces the music pieces recorded in a storage medium in accordance with the order defined by the program. In the above, it relates to a technology for supporting the creation of the program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An audio reproducing apparatus having a program reproducing function for editing a music piece to be reproduced and its reproduction order as a program and reproducing the music pieces recorded in a storage medium according to the order defined by the program is conventionally known. In addition, a CD player and other audio reproducing devices using an Audio-CD as a music recording medium are known. Also,
In recent years, there is also known an apparatus which performs program reproduction on a recording medium such as a hard disk for a musical piece arbitrarily collected by a user.

On the other hand, as a technique for editing a program in an audio reproducing apparatus for performing such program reproduction, a list of music pieces recorded in a storage medium is presented to a user, and a list of music pieces to be reproduced in the program reproduction is used. There is known a technique of receiving a selection from the user from the user and generating a program in which the reproduction order of each music piece selected according to the designation from the user is edited.

[0004]

With the increase in storage capacity of storage media in recent years, the number of songs that can be recorded on the storage medium has increased dramatically. In addition, when the above-mentioned user arbitrarily collects music on the storage medium, all available music is collected on the storage medium for the time being, and then audio reproduction such as selecting music when creating a program is performed. The usage form of the device can be considered.

Therefore, when a user's program is created, a situation may occur in which a huge number of music pieces are recorded on the recording medium. In addition, such a huge number of songs may include a large number of songs that are unrelated to the user's desired taste and style in the program to be created. In such a case, it becomes more difficult to select a music piece for program reproduction from a huge number of music pieces on the recording medium, and the burden of user's program editing work increases. To do.

In addition, once the music is once recorded in the storage medium as described above, the music to be included in the program can be selected,
Rather than selecting a program that includes a song, a receiving device that receives a large number of songs to be broadcast selects a song to be recorded and included in the program from the broadcast songs, or a program that includes the song. In such a case, however, the problem of such an increase in burden similarly arises as the number of broadcast songs increases as the number of broadcast channels increases.

Therefore, according to the present invention, in an audio reproducing apparatus for reproducing a program, even if a music piece to be registered in the program has to be extracted from a large number of music pieces, the program has a taste and a style that the user can easily aim for. The problem is to support the user's program creation so that the user can create the.
