Music recording/reproducing apparatus, list generation method, and information recorded medium

A music recording/reproducing apparatus which has a music database for recording a plurality of pieces of music data and music information corresponding to the each piece of music data, and reproduces the music data recorded in the music database, comprising:

• an access device which accesses, via a network, a server having an album information database for recording album information corresponding to an album containing a plurality of pieces of music data and the music information corresponding to each piece of the music data contained in the album;
• an album information input device which receives album information from a user;
• a music identification device which identifies the album based on the received album information and identifies the music information corresponding to each piece of the music data contained in the identified album, by referring to the album information database in the server through the access device;
• a determination device which determines whether the pieces of music data corresponding to the identified music information have being recorded in the music database;
• and
• a list generation device which generates a list of the music information corresponding to the each piece of music data determined to have being recorded in the music database.

A list generation method for a music recording/reproducing apparatus which has a music database for recording a plurality of pieces of music data and music information corresponding to the each piece of music data, and reproduces the music data recorded in the music database, comprising:
