Audio signal recording apparatus with a track number signal generating function.

摘要

An audio signal recording apparatus is constructed to record a track number signal which allows a sure detection of a head position of a music piece. An audio signal (Sa) to be recorded is delayed for the recording by a first predetermined time period (T1). A start time of each music piece is detected by a transition from a silent state to a sound bearing state of the audio signal, and a track number signal (Sd) is incremented at a timing a second predetermined time period (T2), which is shorter than the first predetermined time period, after a detection of the start time of a music piece, and the track number signal having been incremented.
