Abstract:
A method is provided for acoustically reproducing a digital audio medium, in particular an audiobook, in a motor vehicle, in particular a two- or four-wheel motor vehicle, which has a navigation system that determines the current geographical position of the vehicle, wherein at least first information on the roadway section currently being traversed is assigned to the geographical position. In order to reproduce a digital audio medium in a motor vehicle in a user-friendly manner, the following steps are proposed: a first comparison is carried out in order to determine whether the information on the roadway section currently being traversed, the information being assigned to the current geographical position, indicates a roadway section which requires increased attention from the operator of the motor vehicle; in the event of a positive first comparison, the reproduction of the audio medium is interrupted; a second comparison is carried out in order to determine whether the information on the roadway section currently being traversed, the information being assigned to the current geographical position, continues to indicate a roadway section which requires increased attention from the operator of the motor vehicle; in the event of a positive second comparison, the reproduction of the audio medium is further interrupted; and in the event of a negative second comparison, the reproduction of the audio medium is continued.
