A reproduction apparatus comprising a communication unit adapted to receive digital data distributed by a distribution apparatus, a reproduction unit adapted to reproduce the digital data received by the communication unit, a prediction unit adapted to predict a reproducible time using remaining power of a battery before the reproduction apparatus requests the distribution apparatus to distribute the digital data, and a determination unit adapted to determine whether the digital data can be reproduced to the end or not based on the reproducible time predicted by the prediction unit. If the determination unit determines that the digital data can be reproduced to the end, the reproduction apparatus requests the distribution apparatus to distribute the digital data to be reproduced by the reproduction unit, and if the determination unit determines that the digital data cannot be reproduced to the end, the reproduction apparatus issues an alarm indicating that the digital data cannot be reproduced to the end.
