ABSTRACT:
A disk magazine (1) for containing a plurality of disks (8) includes a detachable lid (4) for covering its disk outlet (2), enabling to take out the disks, a plurality of disk-pushing means (6) for pushing out the disks (8) one by one through the outlet (2). This prevents dust from entering or disks from popping out the magazine when the disk magazine (1) is not in use. A compact recording/reproducing apparatus provided detachably with the disk magazine (1) can be constructed if a single motor (85) is used to drive a pushing lever (87) for selectively thrusting the disk pushing means (6) to selectively push said disk (8) out of the disk magazine (1), and disk transfer means for loading the pushed disk (8) onto, or unloading it from, the recording/reproducing drive unit. A pushing lever (87) is connected to a press piece (107) which pushes portions (11a) of magazine slide levers (11) to be pushed, thereby causing discs to be pushed out of the magazine (1).
