ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling the gain of a spindle motor in a CD-ROM drive, includes the steps of: calculating a first number of tracks on a disc from a starting point of a program region to a reproduction position of data to be reproduced according to information received from a main controller; calculating a first rotational speed of the spindle motor corresponding to the reproduction position; reading a predetermined code to obtain information representative of a current position of a pickup; calculating a second number of tracks on the disc from the starting point of the program region to the current position of the pickup; calculating a second rotational speed of the spindle motor corresponding to the current position of the pickup; and driving a sled motor to move the pickup to the reproduction position and controlling the spindle motor based on a first quantity defining a difference between the first number of tracks and the second number of tracks, and further based on a second quantity defining a difference between the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed.
