ABSTRACT:
A musical content utilizing apparatus has a data input portion B11, transformation process portion B13and utilization process portion B15implemented via programmed processes. The data input portion B11inputs musical content data comprising different kinds of content material data about music and content definition data defining the handling of the content material data. The transformation process portion B13transforms the content definition data in accordance with stylesheets stored in a stylesheet storage portion B14in order to enable the utilization process portion B15to utilize the content material data. The utilization process portion B15generates musical tones or displays images in accordance with the input content material, providing a user with musical content. As a result, a piece of musical content is able to be shared among various different types of musical content utilizing apparatuses, i.e., various platforms.
