Data recording/reproducing apparatus capable of simultaneously performing both reproducing and recording from and in a single recording medium

Abstract

Abstract A data recording/reproducing apparatus uses a single recording medium (1) in which absolute address data are previously formed. Also, the data recording/reproducing apparatus has a first memory (21) for recording and a second memory (14) for reproducing. Audio data reproduced from the recording medium (1) is stored in the second memory (14) at a first transfer rate, and the audio data stored in the second memory (14) is sequentially read at a second transfer rate lower than the first transfer rate to be audio-reproduced, while audio data inputted from external is sequentially stored in the first memory (21) at the second rate and the audio data stored in the first memory (21) is read at the first transfer rate to be recorded on the recording medium (1). The aforementioned reproducing and recording operations are alternately repeated. Thus, the data recording/reproducing apparatus allows audio data recording operation to be concurrently performed during audio reproduction with the single recording medium (1). <IMAGE>
