A digital dubbing device that compresses and stores music data for each
sound unit includes a music data counter that counts the number of
samples of music data when the music data is to be compressed, and
detects a music data stream located in the end part of the sound unit
from the music data based on TOC information of the music data and the
number of samples of the music data counted; a data storage unit that
stores the music data stream detected; a music data comparator that
detects a music data stream identical to the music data stream stored
from the music data when dubbing of the music data is interrupted; and a
controller that causes the dubbing of the music data to be restarted from
music data following the music data stream detected.
