A client transmits the title and artist of a particular music piece to a Web
server
via the Internet. The Web server accesses a music piece playing time information
database and searches the playing time corresponding to that music piece. The playing
time searched and obtained is transmitted to the client via the Internet. Also,
a menu page for a label printing service is sent to the client from the Web server
via the Internet. Printing conditions for the label are input at the client using
the GUI of the menu page transmitted from the Web server. The input conditions
are transmitted to the Web server via the Internet. The Web server prints labels
under the input printing conditions. Thus, music data can be efficiently recording
on media, and further, accurate and neatly-printed labels can be easily provided
to general users.
