A cartridge (10) for an optically readable data carrier, e.g. an optical disc (22), is disclosed as including top and bottom covers (12, 14) for enclosing the optical disc (22) and allowing the optical disc (22) to rotate therein, and a tray (24) for engaging with the optical disc (22) for simultaneous rotation. A player for playing the optical disc (22) enclosed in the cartridge (10) is also disclosed as including a drive mechanism (100, 200) for driving the optical disc (22) into rotational movement, and a laser emitter (108, 210) for emitting a laser beam onto the data layer of the optical disc (22), in which the drive mechanism (100, 200) is engageable with a side edge of a tray (24) of the cartridge (10) to drive the optical disc (22) into rotational movement.
