A magnetic tape cartridge player laterally receives an endless tape cartridge in a slide mechanism which is released by a solenoid operated latch lever to permit associated springs to move the slide mechanism and cartridge from a loading nonplay position to a play position. The slide and cartridge are returned from play position by actuating a switch causing a portion of the lever mechanism to start a timing mechanism into running condition, i.e., the slide mechanism portion pivots a lever to cause a friction roller on the lever to engage and be driven by the tape driving capstan, the roller in turn driving through speed reduction gearing to a cam which after one revolution urges the slide and cartridge carried thereby from the play position back to a loading, nonplay position.
