ABSTRACT:
A computer mass-storage media element storage, retrieval, and manipulative apparatus and associated method uses media elements stored in storage bins of storage carousels. The storage carousels are independently rotatable to rotate selected storage bins of the storage carousels into index positions. A transport mechanism is positionable proximate to the index positions and is operative to retrieve media elements from the storage bins of the storage carousels once rotated into the index positions.
