An information record medium (1: DVD) has a record track (1a) to be reproduced by an information reproducing apparatus (S2). The information reproducing apparatus is provided with a read device (80) and reproduces audio information by a predetermined audio frame unit while relatively moving the read device along the record track recorded with at least the audio information by the audio frame unit. A plurality of audio packets (43, 202) are arranged along the record track, in each of which audio information pieces (207) constructing the audio information sampled by a predetermined sampling frequency and audio control information (203) for controlling a reproduction of the audio information pieces by the information reproducing apparatus are respectively recorded. The audio control information is provided with time management information (203f: PTS) for specifying a time, by a predetermined specification frequency, to manage a timing of outputting the audio information, which is included in the audio frame which head is positioned in the audio packet including the audio control information, in the reproduction by the information reproducing apparatus.
