A candidate piece specifying unit 6 specifies, as a first candidate piece,
a musical piece whose musical piece parameter includes a first factor
that is larger than a first factor of a musical piece currently being
played from among musical pieces, and specifies, as a second candidate
piece, a musical piece whose first factor is smaller than the first
factor of the musical piece currently being played from among the musical
pieces. When data of a musical piece is reproduced by a playback unit 4,
a display control unit 8 causes musical piece information regarding the
first candidate piece and the second candidate piece to be displayed at
positions on a display screen that reflect coordinate positions in an
impression space formed by the factors of the musical piece parameter.
Upon receiving an input from a user of specifying a musical piece
indicated by musical piece information displayed on a display device 10,
a playback control unit 5 controls data of the specified musical piece so
that the data of the specified musical piece is reproduced by the
playback unit.
