A media information distribution and recording system for distributing
media information from a central apparatus to terminal apparatus through
a network and for recording the media information on a detachable
recording medium in the terminal apparatus, wherein the terminal
apparatus serves not only as a transmitting terminal apparatus, but also
as a receiving terminal apparatus, is proposed, together with the
terminal apparatus, a media information recording apparatus for use in
this system, and a recording medium which stores a program that controls
the operation of a computer for use in this system as well as in the
media information recording apparatus.
