Abstract: A changing apparatus for compact discs has a box-shaped magazine in which discs are stored in parallel, overlapping, sloped compartments. The discs can be moved from a storage position in the magazine to a playback position on a playback mechanism by a disc transfer mechanism. The disc transfer mechanism can include a spring-operated lever for pushing a disc out of the magazine. Alternatively, it may include a flexible ribbon housed inside a hollow sheath. When the ribbon is moved back and forth in the sheath, the disc is pushed in a desired direction by one of the ends of the ribbon.
