A media exchange device having a removable media handling device is disclosed herein. The media exchanging device may comprise a plurality of library modules, a first module, a media handling device, and an error detector. The first module is located adjacent the library modules and is removable from the library modules. The media handling device is movable between the library modules and the first module. The error detector is operatively associated with the media handling device. The error detector has a first state and a second state, wherein the error detector is in the first state when no errors are detected in the media handling device by the error detector, and wherein the error detector is in the second state when an error is detected in the media handling device by the error detector. The media handling device is adapted to move to the first module when the error detector is in the second state. An operator then may replace the removable module, which in turn replaces the media handling device, without disassembling the media exchanging device.
