Abstract

In a content reproducing system (1), which includes: a program judging unit (31) that judges whether or not a BD-J program being executed is a continuing program when an eject operation for a BD is detected during reproduction control in which reproduction of a content is controlled by execution of the BD-J program; and a reproduction control management unit (21) that causes the reproduction control performed by the BD-J program to be stopped if the BD-J program is not the continuing program and performs switching to the reproduction control for the content based on any one of media excluding the BD (41), the reproduction control based on execution of the continuing program is continued if the BD-J program is the continuing program.
