Abstract

An auto-changer stores media such as audio or video discs or tape cassettes in numbered slots in a magazine. For each of the media in the magazine, title information is entered from an input device and stored in a memory. The input device may be a manual device, such as a keyboard, or an automatic device, such as optical character recognition equipment. The titles are sorted in the memory and displayed on a display in, for example, alphabetic order, so that the user can find desired titles easily. When the user selects a title from the display, a changer transfers the corresponding medium from the magazine to a player.
