Abstract: This installation includes an arrangement for filing information carriers (for example record library (DT) for compact discs) capable of actuation by a transfer arrangement (8) in order to place the carriers selectively into recording/reading apparatus (2). The loading and unloading of the filing arrangement (DT) can be obtained by use of a temporary storage arrangement (7) preferably taking the form of a displaceable cassette. The latter can be actuated by the transfer arrangement (8) in the same manner that this actuates the record library. The transfer and recording/reading operations of the installation are controlled by a suitably programmed computer (0). The use in particular is for radio broadcasting of audio programs from a collection of compact discs.
