An apparatus and method for managing information concerning programs recorded on a tape-like recording medium. Superimposed on a tape-like recording medium is program information pertaining to the tape-like recording medium, the programs recorded on the tape-like recording medium and the addresses of the recorded programs, as well as, any other additional information needed for management of tape-like recording mediums. The program information is additionally stored in a tape library for managing the recorded programs, but if a device mistakenly gives a particular tape unrelated program information, the management of the recorded programs on the particular tape becomes difficult. The apparatus, therefore, compensates for any errors by reconstructing the tape library, thereby, linking the program information superimposed on the recording medium with updated program information in the tape library.
