Abstract

An audio dubbing system which is composed of an MD recorder 5 capable of recording digital data obtained by converting audio signals of respective tracks from one or plural CD(s) onto MD, and a personal computer 1 for causing the MD recorder 5 to record the digital audio signals, and in which the personal computer 1 is connected to a CD-ROM drive 12 for reading the audio signals from the CD(s) as digital data and to a hard disk drive 13 for storing the digital data read by the CD-ROM drive 12.

Claims

1. A computer readable recording medium which records computer programs for causing a computer to read a series of audio signals recorded on one recording medium or plural recording media in one unit and to control a digital audio recorder so that the audio signals in one unit or plural units are selectively recorded on a recording medium set into said digital audio recorder, said computer program comprising:

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to read digital data representing the audio signals recorded on the individual recording media therefrom;

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to write and store the data read from the recording media in a storage device on which writing/reading is possible by a computer;

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to accept selection of data in desired unit from the data stored in said storage device;

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to create a virtual recording medium in which the data of the selected unit are a unit of the audio signals to be recorded on the recording medium;

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to read the data of each unit composing the virtual recording medium from said storage device;

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to record the data read from said storage device as the audio signals onto the recording medium;

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to accept an instruction to rearrange an arrangement order of the units of the audio signals comprising the virtual recording medium; and

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to rearrange the arrangement order of the units of the audio signals according to the accepted instruction.
