ABSTRACT:
A browser portion BR obtains a reproduction manner specifying file from a content distribution server30, and delivers the same to a reproduction control portion CT. The reproduction control portion CT obtains from the content distribution server30a music content file designated by a reproduction content list in the reproduction manner specifying file. The reproduction control portion CT reproduces, in cooperation with a tone generating circuit43, a music piece corresponding to the music content in a reproduction manner specified by the reproduction manner specifying file. The reproduction control portion CT displays the music content on a display device42in a display manner specified by a reproduction manner specifying file. When a user operates an input operation element group41for changing the display manner of the display device42, the reproduction control portion CT changes the display manner of the display device42. Stream-distributed music content is prohibited from being stored in recording medium (a non-volatile memory)65aand from being outputted to the outside through output interface67.
