Abstract: Plural pieces of content are sequentially reproduced, without interruption. A terminal measures a processing time from request for content data of a first tune from a server to decoding of first content data in a streaming format. A reproduction end time of content under reproduction is calculated and a time earlier than the reproduction end time by the processing time is caused to be a request time when content data of a second tune is requested. When the time occurs during reproduction of the first tune, the terminal requests the content data of the second tune from the server. The terminal receives and decodes the content data before the reproduction end time. When the reproduction of the content data of the first tune is ended, the terminal immediately reproduces the content data of the second tune.

Abstract: A radio communication terminal generates a first play list in which plural content to be played is listed in a play order, conforming to a rule indicated by sort information shared by a content play device, based on attribute information indicative of a content attribute. The terminal accepts the operation of designating head play content and the operation of changing the play order with the use of a first play list, designates the content, and transmits a play instruction. The content play device generates a second play list in which the content is listed in the play order, conforming to the rule indicated by the sort information, based on play instruction and the attribute information, and sequentially plays the content conforming to the second play list with the start of the head play content.
