A reproduction apparatus, comprising: a reproduction section configured to reproduce first content data; an input section (13, 13A) configured to accept an operation to search for content information data (Album ID, Genre ID, Artist ID, Reproduction History, Ranking Information) associated with the first content data; a display section configured to display a plurality of pieces (AAAAA,..., EEEEE; Artist A,...., Artist E) of the content information data and a cursor; and a control section configured to search the content information data (Content Name, Album ID, Genre ID, Artist ID, Reproduction History, Ranking Information) associated with first content data when the first content data is being reproduced, and to control the reproduction section to reproduce at least a part of second content data corresponding to the content information data associated with first content data, wherein the control section is further configured to control the reproduction section to reproduce at least a part of the second content data corresponding to a piece (AAAAA,..., EEEEE; Artist A,...., Artist E) of the content information data when it has been determined that the cursor has been placed at a position of the piece (AAAAA,..., EEEEE; Artist A,...., Artist E) of the content information data for a predetermined time period or longer, and wherein the reproduction apparatus has a first reproduction mode of preview-reproduction in which the reproduction section reproduces a beginning part of the content data and a second reproduction mode in which the reproduction section reproduces the whole content data, and wherein the control section starts counting the predetermined time period when the first reproduction mode is selected, and wherein the reproduction apparatus is configured in that, in the first reproduction mode, when a confirmation operation is performed for a selected content data, at a timing of which the confirmation operation is performed, the preview-reproduction for the content data is stopped, and the content data is successively reproduced after the stop position of the content data that has been preview-reproduced. a reproduction section configured to reproduce first content data; an input section (13, 13A) configured to accept an operation to search for content information data (Album ID, Genre ID, Artist ID, Reproduction History, Ranking Information) associated with the first content data; a display section configured to display a plurality of pieces (AAAAA,..., EEEEE; Artist A,...., Artist E) of the content information data and a cursor; and a control section configured to search the content information data (Content Name, Album ID, Genre ID, Artist ID, Reproduction History, Ranking Information) associated with first content data when the first content data is being reproduced, and to control the reproduction section to reproduce at least a part of second content data corresponding to the content information data associated with first content data, wherein the control section is further configured to control the reproduction section to reproduce at least a part of the second content data corresponding to a piece (AAAAA,..., EEEEE; Artist A,...., Artist E) of the content information data when it has been determined that the cursor has been placed at a position of the piece (AAAAA,..., EEEEE; Artist A,...., Artist E) of the content information data for a predetermined time period or longer, and wherein the reproduction apparatus has a first reproduction mode of preview-reproduction in which the reproduction section reproduces a beginning part of the content data and a second reproduction mode in which the reproduction section reproduces the whole content data, and wherein the control section starts counting the predetermined time period when the first reproduction mode is selected, and wherein the reproduction apparatus is configured in that, in the first reproduction mode, when a confirmation operation is performed for a selected content data, at a timing of which the confirmation operation is performed, the preview-reproduction for the content data is stopped, and the content data is successively reproduced after the stop position of the content data that has been preview-reproduced.
