ABSTRACT:
When the data recording is performed on a magnetic tape in various recording densities, information relating to the recording density (recording-density related information) is recorded in the data recorded on the magnetic tape. Accordingly, recording and reproduction can be properly managed by referring to the recording-density related information, even if data in various recording densities are recorded on the same magnetic tape. Further, when the recording density is altered, the drive apparatus side switches over the recording density in accordance with the quality of recording data. Thus, in the case where the data writing is not possible due to a recording error, the recording density is switched over to a lower recording density to record the data without an error, and therefore a higher flexibility is provided to a data format to be recorded on the magnetic tape.
