PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accelerate access to data at the time of data reproduction corresponding to a magnetic tape. SOLUTION: In the case of recording application data to a tape cassette provided with MIC, write is performed from the head of the application data to be recorded on the magnetic tape to the area in a prescribed size of the MIC. Thus, in the MIC, at least management information positioned at the head of the application data can be stored. Then, at the time of reproducing the application data from such a tape cassette, since just the management information stored in the MIC is utilized, the need of the time to access the management information recorded on the magnetic tape is eliminated.
