Abstract:
A recording/reproducing device having a recording system for recording a series of audio data on a tape recording medium, and a reproducing system for reproducing said audio data which has been recorded on said tape recording medium; whereinsaid recording system comprises:a recording means for dividing said series of audio data such that each first unit of it is divided into plural data blocks, and recording it on said tape recording medium treating the data block as a unit and adding an identification code for each said first unit; andsaid reproducing system comprises:a reproducing means for reproducing said audio data from said tape recording medium in such a manner that said data block is treated as a unit; anda holding and interpolating means for respectively detecting said identification codes of the respective reproduced said data blocks which are supplied sequentially, inferring the most frequent said identification code for each stated period from the result of the detection, sending out said audio data of the data block when said identification code of said data block supplied is said most frequent identification code, holding the data value of said audio data of the immediately preceding said data block and sending it when said identification code of said data block supplied is other than said most frequent identification code, and performing the stated interpolation process when said audio data supplied transfers to the succeeding said audio data of said data block of said most frequent identification code.
