RECORDING MEDIUM MANAGING APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM MANAGING METHOD

摘要

Identification information for identifying a recording medium can be added only once to an area where ordinary signals are recorded, and the identification information is used to manage the contents on the recording medium. Disc identification information can be recorded into a read-in area of a disc (200). When a flag, which indicative of whether the disc identification information has been recorded, indicates that the disc identification information has been recorded, disc identification information is inhibited from being recorded anew. A content management table (520) associates, with attribute information of the contents, and stores the disc identification information. A menu producing part (150) displays a menu based on the content management table (520). If any recording destination disc into which contents are to be recorded is not loaded, a held content storing part (540) holds the contents until the recording destination disc is loaded.
