1. A music contents reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a storage unit operable to store physical quantity data about physical quantities of each of the music contents and a table which defines degrees of interference among the physical quantities of the music contents; and
a control unit operable to select, by using the physical quantity data and the table stored in the storage unit, a first music content to be output to one output portion, the first music content causing substantially no interference with a second music content being reproduced in another output portion.
