The optical disk player of the present invention is capable of controlling rotational speed of an optical disk, on the basis of a shape of the optical disk, so as to stably and efficiently write data in and read data from the optical disk. The optical disk player comprises: a motor for rotating the optical disk; and an optical pickup for irradiating a laser beam to the optical disk and receiving a reflected beam reflected therefrom. A CPU analyzes signals included in the reflected beam so as to recognize a shape of the optical disk. A servo processor controls rotational speed of the optical disk on the basis of the shape of the optical disk recognized by the CPU.
