A media file reproduction apparatus and method which reduces power consumption by cutting off the power to a storage medium driving unit when a media file stored in a storage medium is being played back. The apparatus includes a storage medium driving unit for retrieving a media file per loading unit from a storage medium; a memory; a power supply; and a controller adapted to load the retrieved media file into the memory and to access the memory and play back the media file. The controller instructs the power supply to reduce or cut off power to the storage medium driving unit from when loading of a corresponding loading unit of the retrieved media file into the memory is completed when instructing a retrieval of a next loading unit of the media file. While the retrieved media file is played back, power to the storage medium driving unit is stopped.
