Abstract
An audio device is compatible with a recordable medium such as a CD-R. The audio device manages track files in each session of the recordable medium and displays the session containing the file of an arbitrary track on a display. For example, each session is regarded as a virtual disk and the name of the virtual disk corresponding to the session containing the track is displayed. Accordingly, the device can be used like a CD-changer with a better operationality, and the user can easily find a desired track from the many tracks recorded on the CD-R and play it back. Also, the device automatically plays back a track of the latest session first.
