Abstract:
1. A player comprising: an interface configured to retrieve an audio file from a storage medium on which the audio file and a still picture file are stored; a controller configured to retrieve a still picture file, which is selected by the file name of the audio file, from the storage medium and configured to reproduce audio and a still picture from the audio file and the still picture file, respectively; and a user interface section that accepts a user's instruction to change the still pictures to be reproduced; wherein: the controller retrieves, from the storage medium, a still picture file that was generated while the audio file was being generated; the controller continues to reproduce the same first still picture until the controller receives the instruction to change via the user interface section; when receiving the instruction to change from the user via the user interface while reproducing the audio, the controller reproduces a second still picture distinct from the first still picture; and a second still picture file representing the second still picture is generated earlier or later than a first still picture file representing the first still picture and is generated at the time closest to the time when the first still picture file is generated.
