Abstract
A music reproducing apparatus stores, in a storage device, playlist data that defines an order in which a plurality of music data sets are reproduced, displays the playlist data on a display unit, and reproduces music items in the order defined by the playlist data. The playlist data is formed of a plurality of item data sets each corresponding to a music data set. If a user defines an item data set corresponding to a music data set as one to be reproduced, the defined item is provided with a reproduction mark of “check” and displayed with the reproduction mark on the display unit. On the display unit there is also displayed a total reproduction time D13 in which the reproduction time of music data sets defined as those to be reproduced is summed. Furthermore, item data sets for music data sets that are defined as those to be reproduced but are not stored in the storage device are provided with an irreproducibility mark of “???” and displayed with the irreproducibility mark on the display unit. The thus-configured music reproducing apparatus allows the user to establish, with simple operation, the order in which a plurality of music items are reproduced.
