The invention provides a disk changer wherein a disk can be replaced between different accommodation portions of a rotatable tray. The disk changer includes a rotatable tray having a plurality of annularly arranged accommodation portions, a tray rotating mechanism, a detection section for detecting an address of each accommodation portion and presence or absence of a disk in each accommodation portion, a recording/reproduction section for recording and/or reproducing an information signal onto and/or from a disk, and a disk takeout mechanism for taking out and transporting a disk from an accommodation portion to the recording/reproduction section and for taking out and transporting the disk from the recording/reproduction section to an accommodation portion. In operation, a disk is first transported from a first accommodation portion to the recording/reproduction section, and then the rotatable tray is rotated to a position at which a second accommodation portion opposes the disk takeout mechanism, whereafter the disk is transported from the recording/reproduction section to the second accommodation portion.
