Abstract
A music playback apparatus displays a music file list on a touch screen and pre-plays a music file according to a touch input. If the touch input is removed, the pre-playing may stop. The processor may identify whether the touch input is long or short key signal, and may perform a playback process or a pre-play process on the music file. The processor may include a touch identifier to identify whether the touch down is the long key signal or the short key signal, a pre-listen executer to pre-play the music file, and a player manager to playback the music file. A method for playback may include pre-playing the music file when receiving a touch input or if a touch is received on a pre-listen icon corresponding to the music file, and stopping the pre-playing if the touch input is released or if the pre-listen icon is touched again.
