An apparatus, a method and a program for processing information are provided to offer a technique for searching for contents and to make it possible for a user to perform simple and adequate search for a content that the user desires to watch or listen to. An information processing method comprises the following several steps. A tune search system maps and displays the tunes using two search axes having the highest use frequencies(S1). The tune search system determines whether the user has performed any operation(S2). The tune search system determines whether the operated performed by the user is the search axis replacing operation(S3). If it is determined at step S3 that the operation performed by the user is the search axis replacing operation, the tune search system performs the above-described search axis replacing operation procedure(S4). If it is determined at step S3 that the operation performed by the user is not the search axis replacing operation, The tune search system determines whether the operation performed by the user is the narrowing-down axis selecting operation(S5). If it is determined at step S5 that the operation performed by the user is the narrowing-down axis selecting operation, the tune search system performs the narrowing-down axis selecting operation procedure(S6). If it is determined at step S5 that the operation performed by the user is not the narrowing-down axis selecting operation, the tune search system determines whether the operation performed by the user is the tune selecting operation(S7). If it is determined at step S7 that the operation performed by the user is the tune selecting operation, the tune search system performs the tune selecting operation procedure(S8). If it is determined at step S7 that the operation performed by the user is not the tune selecting operation, the tune search system determines whether the operation performed by the user is the range specification operation(S9). If it is determined at step S9 that the operation performed by the user is the range specification operation, the tune search system performs the range specification operation/magnifying operation procedure(S10). If it is determined at step S9 that the operation performed by the user is not the range specification operation, the tune search system determines whether the operation performed by the user is the reproducing operation(S11). If it is determined at step S11 that the operation performed by the user is the reproducing operation, the tune search system performs the reproducing operation procedure(S12).
