Later, new data may be recorded on the recording medium A, and then the repeat section and the new data may be reproduced continuously. As a result, when the playback target section of the existing data is instructed, the recording / playback apparatus 100 of Embodiment 1 plays back the data in that section and there is no recording instruction different from the instruction. However, the effect of recording new data on the recording medium is exhibited.

  Further, the repeat section may be the entire existing data instead of a part of the existing data.

  Further, the period of new data is not limited to a period obtained by adding a predetermined period to the reproduction period of the repeat section. The new data period may be a period obtained by multiplying the reproduction period of the repeat section by a predetermined coefficient of 1 or more. In order to compare the repeat section with the new data, the period of the new data is preferably a period longer than the playback period of the repeat section, but may be a period shorter than the playback period of the repeat section. Note that the playback period of the repeat section is synonymous with the period corresponding to the repeat section.

  When the repeat section and the new data are continuously reproduced, the control unit 8 causes the sound output unit 4 to output a predetermined sound immediately before reproduction of the repeat section, and starts reproduction of the repeat section. May be notified outside the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 of the first embodiment. Similarly, the control unit 8 causes the sound output unit 4 to output a predetermined sound immediately before reproduction of new data, and starts the reproduction of new data outside the recording / reproduction device 100 of the first embodiment. You may notify. At this time, it is preferable that the sound output immediately before the reproduction of the repeat section and the sound output immediately before the reproduction of the new data are different in order to distinguish them.

  In the first embodiment described above, the control unit 8 determines whether or not the specified period has arrived in step S6 with reference to the start of recording of new data on the recording medium A. 8 may determine whether or not the end of recording of new data on the recording medium A is instructed.

The new data period may be a period obtained by multiplying the reproduction period of the repeat section by a predetermined coefficient of 1 or more. In order to compare the repeat section with the new data, the period of the new data is preferably a period longer than the playback period of the repeat section, but may be a period shorter than the playback period of the repeat section.

  In the second embodiment described above, when the specified period has arrived on the basis of the time when recording of new data on the recording medium A is started (yes in S32), the stop acceptance unit 1e records new data. When the stop of recording on the medium A is accepted (yes in S32), the recording unit 7 ends the recording of new data on the recording medium A (S33). However, when the recording unit 7 records new silent data for a predetermined period on the recording medium A, or when the second data acquisition unit 6 detects silence for the predetermined period, the recording unit 7 stores new data. Recording to A may be terminated. In any case, when the recording of the new data on the recording medium A is completed, the reproducing unit 3 continuously reproduces the repeat section and the new data. Note that the second data acquisition unit 6 may end the acquisition of new data when detecting that silence has continued for a predetermined period.

  Further, when the second data acquisition unit 6 acquires new data and the recording unit 7 records new data on the recording medium A, the playback unit 3 may play back the repeat section. At that time, the user may listen to the sound reproduced by the reproducing unit 3 through headphones in order to record his / her own sound.

  Furthermore, in Embodiment 2 described above, when the repeat section and new data are repeatedly reproduced, the control unit 8 records the recording on the recording medium A when the recording reception unit 1c receives a recording instruction. Erase new data. In addition, when the repeat section and the new data are repeatedly reproduced, the control unit 8 receives the new data recorded on the recording medium A when the section reception unit 1b receives an instruction to change the repeat section. Erase.

  However, when the repeat section and the new data are repeatedly reproduced, the control section 8 receives the instruction to change the repeat section even if the recording reception section 1c receives the recording instruction. However, it is not necessary to erase new data. In that case, there may occur a situation in which a plurality of new data corresponding to the repeat section exists in the recording medium A. At that time, the recording / reproducing apparatus 200 of the second embodiment is operated by the user among the plurality of new data. The selected data, the data recorded on the recording medium A at the end of the plurality of new data, and the repeat section may be reproduced continuously.
