First Claim
1. A content data transferring system for transferring content data selected from a first recording medium on which a plurality of content data have been recorded to a second recording medium, the content data transferring system comprising:
- a recording and reproducing apparatus for reproducing various types of recording medium identification information unique to the second recording medium and recording content data transferred from the first recording medium to the second recording medium;
first set creating means for creating a first set, the first set being used to correlate the recording medium identification information with a second set, the second set being used to categorize the content data recorded on the first recording medium in accordance with a predetermined rule;
second set creating means for creating the second set correlated with the first set;
reproduction control information creating means for creating reproduction control information about the content data with the second set; and
content transfer controlling means for transferring content data recorded on the first recording medium to the second recording medium so as to record the content data onto the second recording medium in accordance with the reproduction control information created in accordance with the recording medium identification information about the second recording medium, the recording medium identification information being reproduced by the recording and reproducing apparatus.

Abstract
A library of a PC is easily synchronized with recorded contents of a disc loaded into a recording and reproducing apparatus (PD). The PC has a dynamic group and a database. Contents of the dynamic group are, dynamically changed. The dynamic group is correlated with the ID of the disc on which the contents of the dynamic group have been recorded. When the CP and the PD are connected, the ID of the disc loaded into the PD is read. The database is referenced for the ID of the disc. When there is a corresponding dynamic group, the dynamic group is compared with the recorded contents of the disc. Contents that exist in the dynamic group and that do not exist on the disc are checked out to the disc. In contrast, contents that exist on the disc and that do not exist in the dynamic group are checked in to the PC. In addition, the reproduction order of contents of the dynamic group is reflected to contents of the disc. The user can synchronize the recorded contents of the disc with the library of the PC only by connecting the PC and the PD.
