A phonograph or compact disc player with multiple discs, requiring the insertion of coins prior to playing, and allowing the user to select the playing of any disc in its inventory. An early version was called the nickelodeon.
a data-storage device having multiple compact discs, of which only one may be on-line at any given time, which permits the user (through computer commands) to select on-line access to any disc from its inventory, in a manner reminiscent of a musical jukebox{1}.
A cabinet that is part of an automated optical disk system storing disks, using robotics for retrieval, and having one or more computer drives. See also OPTICAL DISK (OD).
A mass-storage device connected to a network that houses large amounts of data on multiple media, such as CDs or tapes, that are accessed via a robotic arm.
An archiving jukebox can contain one of many types of media (CD-ROM, tape or disks). The jukebox moves the media from its location by means of a robot or carousel to a reading /writing area. The time for this movement of disk to read is usually 10 - 20 seconds. See Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT), Digital Linear Tape (DLT), Magneto Optical Disk (MOD), Linear Tape Open (LTO), Digital Audio Tape (DAT) and Digital Versatile Disk (DVD).
Automated device for housing multiple optical disks and one or more read/write drives.
A device that uses robotics to move optical media from internal storage slots to internal optical drives for the purpose of “Read” and “Write” operations. It is commonly referred to as an optical library, since it contains media with data.
A peripheral device connected to a computer that can hold a number of optical disks or magnetic tapes at a time, making it possible to switch among them at will.
a coin-operated machine that plays music from a record or compact disc (CD) once a selection is made
a device for storing and retrieving many optical disks
a device meant to provide access to a high number of disks using a low number of drives (usually four or seven, depending upon the manufacturer)
a large collection of CD discs in a box with a few CD drives
a large tertiary storage device whose removable media (e
a system with one drive containing a number of discs
Sometimes called an "optical jukebox", which is a storage device used in imaging systems. A jukebox stores many optical disks, and allows quick retrieval of stored images.
A device which contains multiple discs and one or more readers. It may also contain recording devices. This term is sometimes used to describe a disc changer.
A wide variety of jukeboxes to handle multiple CDs, DVDs and optical disc variants exist. Box capacities range from 5 – 250 disc slots with multiple drive readers (1-10).
(n.) A storage device for optical disk data. Typically contains one to four disks and loads them as needed.
A storage device for multiple sets of CD-ROMs, tape cartridges or disk modules. Using carousels, robot arms and other methods, a jukebox physically moves the storage medium from its assigned location to an optical or magnetic station for reading and writing.
A computer-controlled device that stores optical disks and automatically selects, inserts, and ejects disks from drives. Typically it holds five to several hundred optical disks and functions with one or more drives to provide a means to access multi-volume libraries or recorded data
An automatic media handler for an optical disk drive, also called a library. An optical jukebox is designed to move optical platters in and out of optical drives. The intent is to provide a large amount of easily accessed storage in a "near-line" fashion. Jukeboxes use robotics. Similar in concept to music jukeboxes, the robot arm locates the appropriate disk and, if it is not already mounted in a drive, clears the drive and loads the selected disk.
A mass storage device that holds optical disks and loads them into a drive.
Storage and playback system for your CDs on the DVD Recorder.
Personal Digital Entertainment or Jukebox leverages the power of the PC to create enhanced audio and video entertainment experiences in a compact form. On a portable big storage capacity (miniHardDiskDrive) allows to store WAV, MP3, news, digital audio books, various data, transferring via mic, line-in, data link. When used as a "computer" measure, such as K Bytes of memory, represents the numeric value 1024.
A device that allows a large number of optical discs to be held near-line. It consists of disc racks with space for one or more disc drives and robotic pick-and-place mechanisms. The robotic mechanism relieves the specified disc from the rack, loads it, correctly oriented, into a disc drive and/or returns the last disc read to the storage rack position.
