To provide a reproducing apparatus capable of selecting and reproducing proper musical piece data accompanying a reduction in a battery residual capacity.

A processing control section 1 controls a signal processing circuit 2 to read and reproduce a plurality of musical piece data (a file of the MP3 form or the like) recorded on a disk d. The processing control section 1 estimates a residual reproduction available time for reproduction according to information indicative of the battery residual amount supplied from a battery residual amount detection circuit 8. Then the processing control section 1 compares the estimated residual reproduction available time with a reproduction time of musical piece data going to be reproduced at reproduction start of each of the musical piece data to discriminate whether or not musical piece data by one music title can be reproduced. In this case, when the discrimination indicates that reproduction is not feasible, the processing control section 1 selects and reproduces musical piece data with a reproduction time within the residual reproduction available time from the disk d.
