2. A communication apparatus comprising:
-
a memory configured to store musical content data and a plurality of program lists associated with the musical content data; a data interface configured to interface with an external reproduction apparatus; and circuitry configured to control playback of musical content data based on a program list so that the musical content data referenced in the program list is played back as a collection, the program list being associated with a predetermined identifier uniquely identifying a predetermined external reproduction apparatus among a plurality of external reproduction apparatuses, control presentation of the program list to a user via a user interface, accept edits to the program list via the user interface, determine whether an identifier received by the circuitry via the data interface is the predetermined identifier, and control transfer of the musical content data to the predetermined external reproduction apparatus via the data interface based on the program list when the received identifier is the predetermined identifier. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A method of a communication apparatus for transferring data, the method comprising:
-
controlling playback of musical content data stored in a memory based on a program list so that the musical content data referenced in the program list is played back as a collection, the program list being associated with a predetermined identifier uniquely identifying a predetermined external reproduction apparatus among a plurality of external reproduction apparatuses, the memory being configured to store the musical content data and a plurality of program lists associated with the musical content data; controlling presentation of the program list to a user via a user interface, the user interface being configured to accept edits to the program list; determining, by circuitry of the communication apparatus, whether an identifier received via a data interface, which is configured to interface with an external reproduction apparatus, is the predetermined identifier; and controlling, by the circuitry of the communication apparatus, transfer of the musical content data to the predetermined external reproduction apparatus via the data interface based on the program list when the received identifier is the predetermined identifier. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform a method of a communication apparatus for transferring data, the method comprising:
-
controlling playback of musical content data stored in a memory based on a program list so that the musical content data referenced in the program list is played back as a collection, the program list being associated with a predetermined identifier uniquely identifying a predetermined external reproduction apparatus among a plurality of external reproduction apparatuses, the memory being configured to store the musical content data and a plurality of program lists associated with the musical content data; controlling presentation of the program list to a user via a user interface, the user interface being configured to accept edits to the program list; determining, by the computer, whether an identifier received via a data interface, which is configured to interface with an external reproduction apparatus, is the predetermined identifier; and controlling, by the computer, transfer of the musical content data to the predetermined external reproduction apparatus via the data interface based on the program list when the received identifier is the predetermined identifier. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
