PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the occurrence of fragments of an index file that manages respective content files recorded in a recording medium.

SOLUTION: Content files and an index file which manages respective content files are recorded in an optical disk 2. The index file comprises attribute information of the content files (text data of titles, thumbnail image data so on). A microcomputer 19 updates the index file such that the particular content file is registered to the index file when a particular content file is recorded onto the optical disk 2. In this case, the micro computer 19 reserves a predetermined number of successive slots having a fixed length in the index file, and allocates the attribute information of the particular content file to those slot. The predetermined number can be set to, for example, the maximum or average number of slots that can be predicted for use in registering the content file.
