A music piece managing unit judges whether or not a music piece file name corresponding
to a music piece ID received from a playing processing unit exists in a corresponding
music piece file storing unit, and in the event that judgment is made that the
file name does not exist, a drive letter in the obtained file name is changed to
the drive letter of a currently-connected drive, thereby generating a new file
name. The music piece managing unit then judges whether or not the newly-generated
file name exists in the corresponding music piece file storing unit, and in the
event that judgment is made that the file name exists, the file name of the music
piece is updated to the newly-generated file name. Thus, music piece files can
be readily searched for, even in the event that the configuration of the drives
has been changed.
