Disclosed herein is a magnetic tape machine including a magnetic tape unit for performing read and write of data on a cartridge recording medium; a cartridge storing member having a plurality of cells each capable of storing the cartridge recording medium; and an automatic cartridge loader for carrying the cartridge recording medium between each cell of the cartridge storing member and the magnetic tape unit and between one of the cells and another of the cells of the cartridge storing member. The automatic cartridge loader includes an accessor for holding the cartridge recording medium; a moving member for supporting the accessor and moving the accessor in a direction of arrangement of the cells; and a speed control device for controlling a moving speed of the accessor. The speed control device decides the moving speed according to friction data between the accessor and the moving member. In this magnetic tape machine, the occurrence of errors can be suppressed, and no troublesome work for assembly is required.
