Digital sound data is encrypted and recorded in a recording medium 200. Information 212 required for decoding the encrypted digital sound data 220 is recorded in a program 211 for controlling the reproduction of sound data separately from the digital sound data 220. This can prevent PCM sound data recorded in the recording medium as a part of a content, from being reproduced separately from the content.
