A disk recording and/or reproducing apparatus having a disk exchanging function includes a stocker portion, a rotary drive mechanism, a recording and/or reproducing mechanism and a conveying mechanism. The stocker portion stocks therein a plurality of disks lengthwise. The stocker portion includes a plurality of recess portions in which a plurality of disks are stocked. A plurality of recess portions are disposed radially. The recess portion has a substantially V-like cross section at its portion contacting with an outer peripheral edge portion of the disk. The rotary drive mechanism rotates the stocker portion. The recording and/or reproducing mechanism records and/or reproduces the disk. The conveying mechanism extracts a desired disk from the stocker portion rotated by the rotary drive mechanism, conveys the extracted desired disk to the recording and/or reproducing mechanism, extracts the disk from the recording and/or reproducing mechanism and conveys the disk to the stocker portion.
