Allocation class is provided as attribute information relating to the attributes of files to be recorded on an optical disc, and files with the class of Gathered File are collectively recorded in a Gathered File area which is formed at a prescribed position on the optical disc. File 1 to File 3 including the titles of the contents are recorded in this Gathered File area. The recording area between A1 and A2 for FSD (File System Descriptor) is fixed but the recording area between A3 and A4 of the Gathered File area can be changed if necessary.
