Abstract
Abstract A user management system for a musical accompaniment playing apparatus comprises an individual information recording medium (C1, C2), an input unit (IP), a music information reproducing unit (1, 9), a control unit (11), and a calculation unit (5). When user identification information of the individual information recording medium (C1, C2) and selection of music pieces are input through the input unit (IP), the control unit (11) records information indicative of the number of selected music pieces onto the individual information recording medium (C1, C2). The calculation unit (5) carries out an adjustment on the basis of the information indicative of the number of music pieces recorded on the individual Information recording medium (C1, C2). Further, the control unit (11) sets a musical environment corresponding to user identification information to allow the reproducing unit (1, 9) to reproduce the music information under the musical environment, and record the new musical environment information when it is changed.
