[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2005-0028176, filed on, Apr. 4, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/645,037, filed on Jan. 21, 2005, in the name of inventors Sung Wan PARK, entitled "MEHOD FOR CONTROLLING HIGH DENSITY OPTICAL DISC", which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] 1. Field of the Invention [0004] The present invention relates to a recording medium and a method and apparatus for reproducing data from the recording medium, and more particularly to a method for storing various status information in the reproducing apparatus, and reproducing the data of the recording medium using the aforementioned status information. [0005] 2. Discussion of the Related Art [0006] Generally, there has been widely used an optical disc acting as a recording medium capable of recording a large amount of data therein. Particularly, there has recently been developed a high-density optical recording medium capable of recording/storing high-quality video data and high-quality audio data for a long period of time, for example, a Blu-ray Disc (BD). [0007] The BD based on the next-generation recording medium technique has been considered to be the next-generation optical recording solution capable of storing much more data than a conventional DVD. In recent times, many developers have conducted intensive research into the international standard technical specification associated with the BD along with those of other digital devices. [0008] In association with the above-mentioned situation, there has recently been developed a reproducing device (also called a player) based on the BD international standard, but the BD international standard has not yet been completed, such that many limitations and problems occur in developing the reproducing device. [0009] Particularly, the demand for the above-mentioned reproducing device, which is capable of reproducing data of the recording medium on the condition that it is connected to a network, and reproducing data received over the network simultaneously with reproducing the data of the recording medium, is being rapidly increased. [0010] However, the above-mentioned reproducing device has not yet been developed, such that it is unable to reproduce content provider (CP) data downloaded from an external device over a network simultaneously with reproducing data of the recording medium, such that many limitations and problems occur in developing a BD-based reproducing device employing a network. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0011] Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a recording medium, and a method and apparatus for reproducing data from a recording medium that substantially obviate one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art. [0012] An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for effectively reproducing data from a recording medium. [0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for effectively reproducing data of a recording medium and downloaded data. [0014] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a reproducing device (i.e., a player) for storing a variety of player status information including network configuration information. [0015] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for reproducing data from a recording medium using the player status information. [0016] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a recording medium including a program capable of controlling the reproducing device. [0017] Additional advantages, objects, and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned from practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings. [0018] To achieve these objects and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, an apparatus for reproducing data from a recording medium comprises: a playback system which includes a memory unit equipped with network configuration information, and reproduces data downloaded over a network and data recorded in the recording medium; and a controller for receiving a command from a user, and controlling the playback system according to the received user command. [0019] In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for reproducing data from a recording medium comprising the steps of: a) recognizing a network status by referring to network configuration information recorded in a memory unit; b) if the network status is determined to be a network available status, downloading data from an external part over a network; and c) simultaneously reproducing the downloaded data and data recorded in the recording medium, or selectively reproducing the downloaded data and the data recorded in the recording medium. [0020] In yet another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a recording medium comprising: a program area including a program, which determines whether a player is able to perform a network function and recognizes a network status. [0021] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description of the present invention are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
