A CD changer consisting of a disk storage unit, two standard disk drives with extendable access trays, and a disk transport mechanism for moving individual disks between either access tray and a selected storage location in a warehouse where disks are densely stored in side-by-side vertical stacks above the two disk drives. A disk carrier mechanism moves each disk between a selected storage location and a transfer location positioned above an extended access tray of one of the drives. The disk carrier moves each disk vertically between the transfer location and an intermediate location horizontally aligned with the selected storage location, and moves the disk horizontally between the intermediate position and the transfer location.
