ABSTRACT:
A number of digitally encoded records (12) are loaded in a reproduction apparatus (13), such as a compact disc juke box. Covers (14) corresponding to the records (12) are photographically reduced in size. The photographically reduced covers are mounted on the reproduction apparatus so that the user can choose a particular record to be played by selecting the corresponding cover. In one example the covers (14) are arranged in a regular grid and the reproduction apparatus (13) is programmed with data correlating positions of covers in the grid with the corresponding records. The data may be provided in a programmable data cartridge (8). The grid (T) may have a touch-sensitive device (15,16) associated with it. Alternatively the user may use a numeric keypad to indicate the selected cover.
