An optical disc reproducing apparatus including: a reading unit which reads audio data recorded in an optical disc; a storage unit which stores the audio data read by the reading unit; an operation disc unit disposed turnably; a first detection unit which detects the turning speed and the turning direction of the operation disc unit and outputs a first signal indicating the turning speed and the turning direction; a second detection unit which detects that the outer circumference of the operation disc unit is pushed, and outputs a second signal indicating the pushing; and a controller which controls the reading speed and the reading sequence of the stored audio data from the storage unit, on the basis of the first signal when inputted the first signal and the second signal are outputted, and which controls the reading speed of the audio data stored in the storage unit, on the basis of the first signal when inputted only the first signal is outputted.
