Audio player and method for playing audio data

An audio player comprising:

• a buffer unit that temporary stores sampling values contained in a second-half frame of each of a plurality of frames received in time series, the frames containing audio data sampled in a predetermined sampling rate;
• a detecting unit that detects a defect in the frames;
• an inverted-frame generating unit that generates a first-half inverted frame containing first-half complementarity samples that are obtained by arranging the sampling values of the second-half frame of a normal frame in a reverse order of the time series, the normal frame being received immediately before the defect is detected by the detecting unit;
• a non-inverted frame generating unit that generates a second-half non-inverted frame containing second-half complementarity samples that are obtained by arranging the sampling values of the second-half frame of the normal frame in the time series;
• and
• an output unit that outputs the normal frame, the first-half inverted frame, and the second-half non-inverted frame, in this order.
