See FIG. 13 (2)).

As another operation method for exchanging the track title names of the copy track numbers 2 and 3, there is a method of using the copy function. When the cursor is moved to the first character of the track title name of the track number 2 and the copy key is pressed, the title name input / correction processing unit 14 enters the copy mode, and "Specify copy range" is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The track title name of track number 2 is unchanged and track number 3
When the user wants to replace the track title name of No. 2, the cursor is moved to the position next to the last delimiter mark of the title name of track number 2 and the range of the copy source is designated (the end of the copy range is Δ, FIG. )reference). At this time, an underline indicating the range of the copy source is added below the track title name of the track number 2. Next, when the enter key is pressed, the title name input / correction processing unit 14 determines the copy range and displays "Please specify the copy destination" at the bottom of the screen. Here, when the cursor is moved to the head position of the track title name of the track number 4 and the execute key is pressed, it is determined that the copy destination is immediately before the track number 4, and the title name memory 13
The track title name of the track number 2 is copied with the delimiter mark just before the cursor position. As a result,
The track title names of the track numbers 1 to 3 thus far remain unchanged, and the track title name of the track number 2 is copied to the track number 4. After that, the copy mode is released (above, steps S46, S47, FIG.
(2), see FIG. 14 (1)).

Deletion Next, when the cursor is moved to the first character of the track title name of the track number 2 and the delete key is pressed, the title name input / correction processing unit 14 enters the delete mode, and "Specify delete range" is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Please display. " Since the track title name of the track number 2 including the delimiter mark may be deleted, the cursor is moved to the position next to the last delimiter mark of the title name of the track number 2 and the deletion range is designated. At this time, an underline indicating the deletion range is added below the track title name of track number 2 (see FIG. 1).
4 (1)). Next, when the execute key is pressed, the title name input / correction processing unit 14 determines the deletion range, and deletes the track title name of the track number 2 of the title name memory 13 together with the delimiter mark. Therefore, the track title names of the track numbers 3 and 4 up to that point become the track title names of the track numbers 2 and 3 (above,
Steps S46 and S47, see FIG. 13 (2)). As a result, the track title names of the track numbers 2 and 3 can be exchanged.

As another operation method for exchanging the track title names of the exchange track numbers 2 and 3, there is a method of utilizing the exchange function. Move the cursor to the first character of the track title name of track number 2 and press the exchange key, the title name input / correction processing unit 14 will be in exchange mode, and "Please specify the end of one exchange range" at the bottom of the screen. Is displayed. When it is desired to replace the track title name of track number 2 with the track title name of track number 3, the cursor is moved to the position next to the last delimiter mark of the title name of track number 2, and one exchange range is designated ( The end of one exchange range is △). At this time, an underline indicating one exchange range is added below the track title name of the track number 2 (see FIG. 14 (2)). Next, when you press the Enter key, the title name input / correction processing unit 1
In step 4, one exchange range is confirmed, and "Please specify the start position of the other exchange range" is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

(3)). Next, when the enter key is pressed, the title name input / correction processing unit 14 determines the other exchange range, and replaces the one exchange range specified this time with the other exchange range on the title name memory 13. As a result, the track number name of the previous track number 3 is entered in the track number 2, and the track title name of the previous track number 4 is entered in the track number 3 (above steps S46, S47, FIG. 13 (2)). reference). As a result, the track title names of the track numbers 2 and 3 can be exchanged.

It should be noted that copying and moving can be performed for a partial character string (one or more characters) of a title name between different tracks or in the same track, for example, FIG.
When the copying process (moving process) is executed with the cursor positions of B and B ′ in the range A of (1) as the copying destination (moving destination), FIGS. 15 (2) and (3) (FIG. 16 (1), (2) )) Is corrected. The exchange can be performed between different tracks or in the same track for a part of the character string of the title name. For example, the range C in FIG. 16 (3) is one exchange range and the other is D (D '). 17 (1) (FIG. 17 (2)) when the exchange process is executed as the exchange range. You can also delete some character strings in the title name,
For example, when the deletion process is executed for the range C in FIG. 16 (3), the result is as shown in FIG. 17 (3).

Writing of title name As shown in FIGS. 9 (4) and 13 (2), when the input / correction of the disc title name and track title name of track numbers 0 to 3 is completed, the title name writing key is pressed. Push. Then, the title name input / correction processing unit 14 gives a title name writing command to the main body 1 side, reads the title name of each track from the title name memory 13, and outputs it to the main body side. Upon receiving the title name write command, the controller 7 stores the title name of each subsequently input track in the title name memory 8 of the main body 1, and regarding the recorded track, the title of the sector 1 of the UTOC information of the UTOC memory 4 is recorded. The name information is updated with the title name information stored in the title name memory 8 (step S2 in FIG. 4).
2 to S24). Here, the track title name of track number 1 is corrected and the track title name of track number 2 is added (see FIG. 7). Track number 3
Since the track title name of is not yet recorded, it is not added to the UTOC information of the UTOC memory 4.

Additional recording operation After this, when a recording operation is performed by the operation unit 5 in the stopped state, the recording / playback unit 3 is controlled to start from the address next to the end address of the track of the maximum track number (here, 2). Record the music information for the new track.
Then, the track number (= 3) of the new track and the start address are stored in the UTOC memory 4. During recording, the controller 7 automatically generates the current recording address, refers to the start address of the track number 3 stored in the UTOC memory 4, calculates the recording elapsed time, and displays it. Also, the title memory 8 is checked to check whether the track title name has been entered for the new track. Since it has already been entered, the track title name of the new track is stored in the UTOC memory 4 and displayed on the display unit 6. (Steps S10, S11 in FIG. 3,
See FIG. 8). When the MD-MO2 becomes full or a stop operation is performed, the recording / playback unit 3 is controlled to stop the recording of the music information of the current track, and the end address is stored in the UTOC memory 4 (step S14, S
15).

Recording of UTOC information on MD-MO When the eject operation is performed after the recording and the input / correction of the title name are completed as described above, the controller 7 is operated.
Controls the recording / reproducing unit 3 to record all the UTOC information stored in the UTOC memory 4 in the UTOC area of the MD-MO 2. After that, the controller 7 is MD-
MO2 is unloaded and the power is turned off (steps S25 to S27). When the power off key is pressed instead of the eject operation, the controller 7 controls the recording / reproducing unit 3 to record all the UTOC information stored in the UTOC memory 4 in the UTOC area of the MD-MO 2. After that, the power supplied to each unit is turned off (steps S28 to S30). After that, if the power-on key is pressed, the controller 7 supplies power to each unit and then controls the recording / reproducing unit 3 to read the UTOC information from the UTOC area and store it in the UTOC memory 4 ( Step S31, step S3 in FIG. 3).

If you do not want to input / correct the title name and want to print the title name of each track of MD-MO2 in a list on the label paper, first insert the MD-MO2 into the mini disc recorder main unit 1
To insert. Then, after being loaded into the recording / reproducing unit 3 by the function of the controller 7, the UTOC information is read from the UTOC area and stored in the UTOC memory 4 (see FIG. 6A). In this state, enter the title
When the print key of the keyboard 11 of the label printing machine 10 is pressed, the label print processing unit 17 enters the print mode (see FIG. 18).
Steps S60 and S61), and a predetermined print style selection screen is displayed on the display unit 12 (Step S62, see FIG. 19).

By the initial setting, (1) is for the cartridge of MD-MO2, (2) is for printing the track number,
It has been selected that (3) print the elapsed playing time, (4) print the total playing time, and (5) do not cut off title names that span two or more lines in one line (each item (The selection side is surrounded by a frame.) If this is OK, press the execute key. If you want to change it, select the item with the up and down cursor keys and select 1 or 2 with the ten keys. Each time the selection operation is performed, the label print processing unit 17 temporarily registers the selection style (step S63). When the execution key is pressed after selection of all items is completed, the label print processing unit 1
7 determines the contents of the temporary registration at that time as the print style for this time. Here, it is assumed that the style of FIG. 19 is selected. After that, the label print processing unit 17 inputs the UTOC information of the UTOC memory 4 and outputs the start address and end address of each track of the sector 0 to the playing time calculation unit 1.
In step S65, the performance time for each track and the total performance time are input (step S65).

Next, it is checked whether or not there is a title name for one or more track numbers in the title name memory 13 (step S66).
Title name data for each track of sector 1 of TOC information (including disc title name of track number 0),
The printer 15 is controlled according to the print style selected by the user by using the performance time for each track and the total performance time, as shown in FIG.
As shown in 0, a label paper 81 is used as a title, the title line also indicates the number of songs and the total playing time, and the track title name and the playing time are paired for each track after the track number 1. A list of 80 labels
Are formed by printing (step S67). This allows the user to insert the MD-MO2 into the main body 1 of the mini-disc recorder, and perform a simple operation of instructing printing to represent the disc title name, the track title name of the recorded track, and the playing time. Labels can be created.

Label printing (Title name input / correction
If it) Incidentally, the title input label printer 10, to correct the mistake that exists in the track title name is printed on the label 80 of FIG. 20, also, then the track number 2 Record 3 track title name of If you want to add these titles, instruct to print after adding or correcting these title names. For example, when the track number 2 is recorded on MD-MO2 and the print key is pressed while the title name memory 13 is in the state of FIG. 9 (4) by the above-described title name input / correction operation. In step S65, the playing time and the total playing time of the songs of track numbers 1 and 2 are calculated. Since YES is obtained in the step 66, the UT previously read from the UTOC memory 4 in the step S65.
The recorded track is track number 1 by referring to the OC information.
Then, a label listing the disc title name and the track title names of track numbers 1 and 2 among the title names in the title name memory 13 is printed (step S68). Therefore, when recording on MD-MO2 is stopped up to track number 2, even if an extra title name up to track number 3 is created, it will not be erroneously printed on the label.

If the MD-MO2 has a track number of 3,
If the print key is pressed while the title name memory 13 is in the state of FIG. 9 (4) by the title name inputting / correcting operation described above, if the print key is pressed, in step S65, the track numbers 1 to 3 are selected. Performance time and total performance time are calculated for each song. Since YES is obtained in step 66, it is determined that the recorded tracks are track numbers 1 to 3 by referring to the UTOC information read from the UTOC memory 4 in step S65, and the title name of the title name memory 13 is read. Among them, a label in which the disc title name and the track title names of track numbers 1 to 3 are listed is printed (step S68, refer to the label 80 printed on the label paper 81 in FIG. 21. Note that, for example, when the printing style is selected, , (2) to (4), the print label is as indicated by reference numeral 80 in FIG. 22) when not selected. Therefore, even if the title name is previously input for the track number 3 and the track is recorded on the MD-MO2 later, a list of track title names for each track recorded on the MD-MO2 is correctly created. be able to. Label paper 8 after making label 80
