Abstract

A compact disc storage and loader system comprising a disc storage magazine having a plurality of storage shelves, and methodology for storing and extracting a compact disc utilizing a storage shelf and a disc transport shelf. In one embodiment, each storage shelf (50) is able to accommodate one compact disc (30) thereon for storage, and has a structure (52, 54) for grasping opposing edges of a compact disc. In another embodiment, each shelf (216) of the magazine has an extractor mechanism (220) movably mounted thereon such that movement of the extractor mechanism will push a disc (218) disposed on the shelf for subsequent delivery and use. In another embodiment, each shelf (328) has a disc retention portion of a planar dimension sufficiently less than the diameter of the disc (318) such that a disc (318) is held by friction fit along at least a portion of its periphery.
