Abstract: A mass storage, an electronic multi-track reproducer, and a method to reproduce multi-track data are shown. The possibility is provided to change the reproduction medium according to present environmental conditions, e.g., to change from a text reproduction seamlessly to the reproduction of a radio play, in case environmental conditions indicate that the user is actually not capable of reading because of vibrations or illumination that is too low. To provide these features to a user, a mass storage, a multi-track reproducer, and a method for reproducing the tracks according to detected environmental conditions is provided. The invention is based on multi-track data, wherein at least a subset of the tracks is sufficient for a basic perception of the data, and at least two of the tracks are provided with synchronization markers. The reproduction can seamlessly jump between the different tracks and reproduction modes, as the tracks are synchronized by the markers.
