A method and device for storing audio-centered information by a table-of-contents (toc) mechanism and also by a file-based access mechanism through a root directory that contains highest level toc directory, and a unitary storage medium containing such information

摘要

Audio-centered information is stored on a unitary medium by a Table-of-Contents (TOC) mechanism for specifying an actual configuration of various audio items on the medium. In addition to the TOC mechanism a file-based access mechanism to the information is assigned through a ROOT directory that contains a highest level TOC directory pointing at various audio items.
