Recording/reproducing apparatus, recording/reproducing apparatus and program
First Claim
1. A recording/reproducing apparatus comprising:
- recording means for recording content data to a storage medium;
reproduction means for reproducing said content data from said storage medium;
image data storage means for storing image data corresponding to each of a plurality of pieces of attribute information;
attribute information detection means for detecting, if no image data is related with said content data, attribute information related with said content data;
image data detection means for detecting image data corresponding the attribute information detected by said attribute information detection means from said image data storage means; and
control means for controlling such that the image data detected by said image data detection means be outputted at least during reproduction of said content data by said reproduction means.

Abstract
A recording/reproducing apparatus and method and program are preferably applicable to a reproducing apparatus for reproducing externally acquired music data for example. The recording/reproducing apparatus has a recording device configured to record content data to a storage medium; a reproduction device configured to reproduce the content data from the storage medium; an image data storage device configured to store image data corresponding to each of a plurality of pieces of attribute information; an attribute information detector configured to detect, if no image data is related with the content data, attribute information related with the content data; an image data detector configured to detect image data corresponding the attribute information detected by the attribute information detector from the image data storage device; and a controller configured to control such that the image data detected by the image data detector be outputted at least during reproduction of the content data by the reproduction device.
