Control means for moving a deck in a tape cartridge apparatus having a plurality of endless tape cartridges mounted on a movable container, the container being movable to bring the cartridges into the playing position in a predetermined sequence. Mounted on the deck are a rotary capstan for driving the tape in the cartridge in the playing position, and a magnetic head for transducing the tape. The deck is adapted to be reciprocated between a reproducing station where the capstan and the magnetic head play the cartridge in the playing position and a non-reproducing station where the play of the cartridge is ended. The deck may be retained by a first locking means in the reproducing station or by a second locking means in the non-reproducing station. The deck is moved into the non-reproducing station by the bias of a bias means when the first locking means releases retention of the deck. And, the deck is moved into the reproducing station against the bias of the bias means by a deck moving means having a frictional cam wheel rotatably driven abutting against the capstan when the second locking means releases retention of the deck.
