1. An audio data reproduction method for interrupting current reproduction of first audio data, for reproducing second audio data targeted to be reproduced simultaneously within a same certain time period of first audio data reproduction, said method causing a computer having a storage device to self-perform a process comprising:

  • at the time period, temporarily interrupting the first audio data reproduction, and beginning reproducing the second audio data;

    recording within said time period, the first audio data to said storage device while reproducing the second audio data only;

    after completion of reproduction of said second audio data, resuming reproducing said first audio data while forcing a reproduction speed of the first audio data reproduction to increase with elapse of time; and

    planning a reproduction start time point of third audio data to be reproduced after completion of the reproduction of said second audio data;

    calculating a reproduction end time point of said second audio data;

    calculating a gap time being a time period of from said reproduction end time point to said reproduction start time point;

    calculating a reproduction time needed for reproduction of said first audio data while increasing the reproduction speed thereof;

    determining whether the calculated reproduction time is less than or equal to said gap time; and

    only in a case where said reproduction time is less than or equal to said gap time, reproducing said first audio data while increasing said reproduction speed.
