The audio output unit 18 includes a signal conversion circuit, an amplifier, and the like, and outputs an audio signal to an earphone or the like (not shown). Specifically, the music data received from the audio device 1 is converted into an analog audio signal by the signal conversion circuit in the audio output unit 18, and the audio signal is amplified by an amplifier and output from an earphone or the like. .

  The recording medium 19 is composed of a memory card equipped with a semiconductor memory and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, and music data reproduced by the reproducing unit 15 is recorded.

  Next, a music data recording process executed by the audio apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The music data recording process is a process in which the reproduction of the music data by the reproducing unit 15 is terminated and the recording of the music data on the recording medium 19 is stopped after the reproduction of the recorded data is completed.

  For example, the music data recording program read from the ROM 13 and stored in the RAM 12 as appropriate is triggered by the input of the music data recording processing execution instruction in the audio device 1 via the instruction unit 14, and the control unit 11. The music data recording process is executed in cooperation with.

  Assume that a CD is set in the playback unit 15 in advance. Further, it is assumed that the audio apparatus 1 and the storage medium 19 are connected for communication.

  First, recording of music data is started (step S101). That is, the reproduction unit 15 starts reproducing the music data, and the reproduced music data is recorded on the recording medium 19. Then, the recording data specifying information input via the instruction unit 19 is accepted (step S102). Here, the record data specifying information includes end reservation mode setting information, song number setting information, and search information set by the user.

  The setting information for the end reservation mode refers to setting information for making an end reservation for reproduction of music data. For example, it is assumed that the user wants to record up to music data currently being reproduced as recorded data. In this case, the end reservation mode is set by the user via the instruction unit 14.

  The song number setting information refers to setting information related to the number of songs in the recorded data. For example, it is assumed that the number of pieces of music data that the user wants to record as recorded data is three. In this case, “3 songs” is set by the user via the instruction unit 14.

  The search information refers to information for searching for a silence portion for specifying the genre, artist name, song name, or end of song data of recorded data. For example, it is assumed that the song name of the song data that the user wants to record as the record data is “ABC”. In this case, “ABC” is set by the user via the instruction unit 14.

  After the execution of step S102, music data stop instruction information input via the instruction unit 14 is received (step S103).

  After execution of step S103, it is determined whether or not the end reservation mode setting information is included in the recording data specifying information (step S104). If it is determined that there is no end reservation mode setting information in the recording data specifying information (step S104; NO), the recording of the music data is stopped (step S105). That is, the reproduction of the music data by the reproducing unit 15 and the recording of the music data on the recording medium 19 are stopped.

  In step S104, when it is determined that the recording data specifying information includes the end reservation mode setting information (step S104; YES), it is determined whether the recording data specifying information includes the song number setting information. (Step S106). If it is determined that there is the song number setting information (step S106; YES), it is determined whether or not the reproduction of the song data of the song number setting information has ended (step S107). For example, in the case of the song number setting information of “3 songs”, it is determined whether or not the reproduction of the song data of “3 songs” has ended. Here, the determination as to whether or not the reproduction of the music data has been completed is performed by determining the first and last addresses of the music data based on TOC (Table Of Contents) information.

  When it is determined that the reproduction of the music data of the music number setting information has not been completed (step S107; NO), the process proceeds to step S107. When it is determined that the reproduction of the music data of the music number setting information has been completed (step S107; YES), the process proceeds to step S105.

  In step S106, when it is determined that there is no song number setting information in the recorded data specifying information (step S106; NO), it is determined whether there is search information in the recorded data specifying information (step S108). ). If it is determined that there is no search information in the recorded data specifying information (step S108; NO), it is determined whether or not the reproduction of the music data being reproduced has been completed (step S109). Whether or not the reproduction of the music data has ended is determined by determining the first and last addresses of the music data based on the TOC information.

  If it is determined in step S109 that the reproduction of the music data being reproduced has not ended (step S109; NO), the process proceeds to step S109. When it is determined that the reproduction of the music data being reproduced has been completed (step S109; YES), the process proceeds to step S105.

  In step S108, when it is determined that there is search information in the recorded data specifying information (step S108; YES), it is determined whether there is music data that matches the search information (step S110). For example, it is assumed that the song name of the song data that the user wants to record as the record data is “ABC”. In this case, a search for music data that matches “ABC” is executed. The search is executed using the tag information or metadata of the music data. The metadata is acquired from, for example, a PC (Personal Computer) connected to an I / F (interface) (not shown) in the audio device 3. At this time, as a search condition, information including a part of characters of the search information may be searched. For example, it is assumed that “A” is set as search information for recording data by the user. In this case, “A” and “ABC” match part of the letter “A”. That is, even if “A” is set as search information, the song name “ABC” may be searched. That is, the search information search may not be limited to a complete match of the search information.

  If it is determined in step S110 that there is music data that matches the search information (step S110; YES), it is determined whether or not the reproduction of music data that matches the search information has ended (step S111). Whether or not the reproduction of the music data has ended is determined by determining the first and last addresses of the music data based on the TOC information.

  If it is determined in step S111 that the reproduction of the music data matching the search information has not ended (step S111; NO), the process proceeds to step S111. When it is determined that the reproduction of the music data matching the search information has been completed (step S111; YES), the process proceeds to step S105.

  If it is determined in step S110 that there is no music data that matches the search information (step S110; NO), it is determined whether or not the reproduction of the music data currently being reproduced has ended (step S112). Whether or not the reproduction of the music data has ended is determined by determining the first and last addresses of the music data based on the TOC information.

  When it is determined that the reproduction of the music data currently being reproduced has not been completed (step S112; NO), the process proceeds to step S112. When it is determined that the reproduction of the music data currently being reproduced has been completed (step S112; YES), the process proceeds to step S105. After execution of step S105, the music data recording process ends.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the stop instruction information is received, the control unit 11 matches the music data being reproduced, the music data of the music number setting information, and the search information based on the recording data specifying information. It is determined whether or not the reproduction of the music data to be performed has ended. When it is determined that the reproduction of the music data has been completed, the reproduction of the music data by the reproducing unit 15 is stopped, and the recording of the music data on the recording medium 19 is stopped. This eliminates the need for the user to input a recording stop instruction after waiting for the recording of the recording data to end. Therefore, user convenience can be improved during data recording. Further, since the recording does not stop in the middle of the recording data, it is not necessary to record the recording data again. Therefore, the work burden on the user can be reduced.

  Also, when the stop instruction information is input through the instruction unit 14 by the user, the music data is reproduced when the reproduction of the music data being reproduced, the music data of the music number setting information, or the music data matching the search information is finished Data recording can be automatically stopped.

  The description in the above embodiment is an example of the audio apparatus 1 according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the storage medium 19 is configured by a memory card mounted with a semiconductor memory or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the recording medium 19 may be an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or a memory in the audio apparatus 1. Further, it may be an HDD in an external device that is communicatively connected to the audio device 1, and this external device may use a DAP (Digital Audio Player) as a mass storage.

  Further, although the data to be played back by the audio apparatus 1 is music data recorded on a CD, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, data recorded on a memory card or the like equipped with MD, DVD, semiconductor memory, or data recorded on an HDD or memory built in the audio apparatus 3 may be used. In addition, data input from the tuner may be reproduced. At this time, the reproduction end is determined by detecting a silent portion.

  Further, the recording data specifying information in step S102 in the music data recording process may be received before the recording of data in step S101 is started.

  In addition, the detailed configuration and detailed operation of the audio apparatus 1 according to the above embodiment can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
