ABSTRACT:
An optical disk reproducing device is used when recording a plurality of music pieces, which have been recorded on an optical disk, on a recording medium such as a magnetic recording tape by using a magnetic recording and reproducing device, etc. in order to make it easy to edit and set the number of music pieces which is recordable to minimize a remaining time of a recording tape. To this end, the optical disk reproducing device stores the number of music pieces, which can be recorded within a predetermined edition time that has been inputted beforehand, sequentially starting from a first music piece recorded on the optical disk, and thereafter selects music pieces, which are recordable by using a remaining time that has occurred in the predetermined edition time, from among remaining music pieces which have not yet been stored, and then stores the selected music pieces or compares the length of a previously stored music piece bearing the last music number with the length of the respective remaining music pieces which have not been stored, and automatically calculates to exchange the previously stored music piece bearing the last music number with any music piece which is able to shorten the remaining time and thereby to effect sequential setting of the number of music pieces, whereby an automatic music number edition with a minimum remaining time of a recording tape becomes possible.
