Sounds good. ISTR PC CD Jukeboxes that did that sort of thing many
moons ago.... small capacity though. Obviously when you're in the
x00's of discs, a carousel is easier than a cartridge type thing taken
by car CD changers etc. I have a Pioneer 25 CD changer from donkeys
ago that has a file type mechanism.... almost the same as the carousel
but not enough discs to go round the carousel, so 25 CDs on their end,
with a mech that slides up and down to pull out the disc you want. I
don't mind popping the top off that one for photos when I get the
camera back, if its any use.
