SOUND OUTPUT DEVICE AND MUSIC REPRODUCING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To output a sound data which is stored in an external memory without restarting a music reproducing function or the like, even if the external memory is exchanged, in a music reproducing device in which a music data stored in the external memory by attaching the removable external memory, is reproduced. SOLUTION: A reading section 130 reads the sound data of one unit from the external memory, and a memory section 140 stores the read sound data in an internal memory device. An output section 150 outputs the read sound data stored in the internal memory device. When the output section 150 finishes outputting the sound data, a determination section 160 determines whether the external memory is exchanged or not. When the determination section determines that the external memory is exchanged, an instruction section 170 instructs that the sound data of one unit is read from the external memory after exchanging, to the reading section.
