According to the structure of a conventional magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, the loading and unloading of a cartridge are effected by pushing the cartridge into the apparatus manually against the biasing force of a plate spring which serves as a cartridge holding member, thus requiring a large force (about 0.5 to 1 Kgf) for the cartridge loading and unloading operation. In the magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus of the present invention, a slide member having retaining rollers is attached to a housing slidably and the retaining rollers are brought into engagement with engaging portions of a cartridge. In this state the slide member is allowed to slide to effect loading and unloading of the cartridge.
