    Abstract: A device and method for storing and retrieving data storage discs, such as compact discs and computer discs. The device includes a carrousel that holds the data storage discs. The carrousel includes a continuous belt that turns when the carrousel is activated. Attached to the continuous belt are a plurality of suspension elements. The free end of each of the suspension elements is adapted to receive and retain a data storage disc. Consequently, as the continuous belt turns, the data storage discs supported by the belt also move. The path of movement for each of the data storage discs is specifically designed so that the face surface of each data storage disc can be readily viewed at at least one point.
