When invormation is recorded on a magnetic tape, a plurality of first data blocks which have been separately transferred from a higher rank apparatus are combined with each other while adding thereto control information for identifying each of the first data blocks, and are recorded on the magnetic tape as a continuous second data block. During a reproducing operation, either the first data blocks which have been separated based upon the control information, or the second data block containing the control information, are transferred to the higher rank apparatus. |
