<p>A reproducing apparatus for a recording medium (2), which has address data recorded thereon, a set of data discretely recorded in a plurality of small recording areas thereon, and information indicative of connective relationships between the small recording areas recorded thereon, includes a readout device (5), a memory (18; 12), and a controller (18). The readout device (5) reads data and address data recorded on the recording medium (2). The memory (18; 12) stores the information indicative of connective relationships between the small recording areas in the data read by the readout device (5). The controller (18) controls the readout device in high-speed reproduction to repeatedly make an access in accordance with the information stored in the memory and read the data stored in the small recording areas in units of a predetermined data amount. The controller (18) further executes control, when the readout device has moved to a position outside a preceding small recording area after an access, so that the readout device (5) makes an access to a subsequent small recording area in a connective relationship with the preceding small recording area and, when the address corresponding to the position in the subsequent small recording area reached after the access is within a predetermined range of the start address of the subsequent small recording area, so that the readout device reads data from the recording medium starting at the position reached.</p> |
