Description

  The present invention relates to a device for reproducing music and / or video data stored in a storage medium (for example, a portable audio player, a media player, a stationary audio device, a mobile phone / mobile terminal having a music / video data reproduction function) And the control method thereof.

The portable audio player stores digitally compressed music data in a storage medium such as a flash memory or a hard disk, and reads out the music data from the storage medium for reproduction. Due to the increase in capacity of storage media and the improvement of the compression rate of digital compression technology, a large amount of music data can be stored in the storage media. However, on the other hand, users have to find music data that suits their tastes from a large number of music data. Several methods for searching for music data have been devised. For example, information such as broadcast programs viewed by users and products paid for is collected, and music data related to the information is reproduced ( For example, see Patent Document 1).
