Claim:
An information processing apparatus comprising: a data processor; a first memory device; and a second memory device storing instructions which when executed by the data processor, cause the data processor to: (a) store, on the first memory device, subsequently acquired data which is subsequently generated or obtained as data associated with content read from an information recording medium; (b) set, in a subsequently-acquired-data directory set for the first memory device, a directory corresponding to identification information set for the information recording medium or the content; and (c) after the directory has been set in the subsequently-acquired-data directory, set, in the directory: (i) a file of the subsequently acquired data; and (ii) search information which is used to search the file of the subsequently acquired data, wherein the data processor is configured to (i) perform a virtual combination processing of a data file on the information recording medium and the file of the subsequently acquired data based on the search information, and (ii) store, in a file set in the subsequently-acquired-data directory, a file-name conversion table for files set in the subsequently-acquired-data directory, wherein the file-name conversion table is configured to convert a first file name associated with a first identifier into a second file name having the same format as the first file name, and convert the first file name associated with a second identifier into a third file name having the same format as the first file name, and wherein the second file name is different than the third file name.
