CONTENT REPRODUCING APPARATUS AND CONTENT REPRODUCING METHOD
First Claim
1. A content reproducing apparatus for obtaining and reproducing music data externally output in digital format or an analog format and image data externally output in an analog format from a content storage device in which music data and image data are stored as digital content, the content reproducing apparatus comprising:
- an input receiving unit for receiving a user'"'"'s input;
an external-output requesting unit for requesting the content storage device to externally output music data and image data in analog format, in order to cause music data and image data to be reproduced in succession based on the user'"'"'s input received by the input receiving unit; and
a reproducing unit for reproducing music data and image data externally output from the content storage device in analog format.

Abstract
A content reproducing apparatus and a content reproducing method reproduce sound from image data or music data from the beginning, in a case where music data and image data is obtained from a content storage device and reproduced in succession. An input receiving unit receives a user'"'"'s input, an external-output requesting unit requests a content storage device to externally output contents, and a reproducing unit reproduces the contents. The external-output requesting unit requests the content storage device to externally output the corresponding music data and the corresponding image data in analog format based on the input received by the input receiving unit, in order to cause the reproduction unit to reproduce music data and image data in succession. As a result, the content reproducing apparatus and method eliminate the necessity of switching reproduction of digital (or analog) information to the reproduction of analog (or digital) information, for reproducing the image (or music) data immediately after the music (or image) data.
