  • STORING AUDIO-CENTERED INFORMATOIN WITH A MULTI-LEVEL TABLE-OF-CONTENTS (TOC) MECHANISM HAVING REDUNDANT SUB-TOCS
    Publication number: 20070127321
    Abstract: Audio-centered information is stored on a unitary medium by using a Table-of-Contents (TOC) mechanism that specifies an actual configuration of various audio items on the medium. In particular, each one of a set of one or more Track Areas gets at least two mutually logically conforming Sub-TOCs assigned. This allows to retrieve any constituent Sub-TOC part from at least any correct copy of the Sub-TOCs. Furthermore, one or more Master-TOCs are provided for specifically pointing to each of the Sub-TOCs.
