A telephone terminal device such as a portable telephone performs music
playback processes with respect to use-specified music data in which
tempos, tone colors, and pitches are specifically processed to suit
different uses while tone color assignment and musical score are commonly
shared among different uses, or common-use music data that are partially
modified to suit a specific use in reproduction such as production of
incoming call melody sound, hold sound, background music (BGM) during
conversation in progress, karaoke accompaniment sound, and music for
appreciation.
