Abstract: A sound reproducing apparatus having a limited selection effected by the introduction of a coin or disc comprising a multi-channel cartridge tape reproducer having selection means for selecting a desired channel. The tape reproducer is preferably of the stereophonic type having four channel positions and the selection is effected not only with respect to a desired channel but also to a desired track so that each track on the tape can be recorded separately so as to give a selection of any one of eight tracks. Each track is recorded with a series of recordings having a common characteristic, for example, the same interpreter or singer, and the apparatus is provided with structure for stopping the tape, that is, terminating a given selection, after the reproduction of one of the recordings on the respective track. Selection is therefore made with respect to a singer or interpreter rather than to the particular interpretation to be reproduced. Preferably the tape is of the mono-directional endless type.
