A disk-selective disk system is capable of holding a plurality of disks such as compact disks (CDs), mini-disks (MDs), CD-ROM disks, floppy disks, or other types of disks for reproducing and recording data, wherein a selected disk can be ejected from a disk container even if another disk is loaded in the disk drive and is being driven for reproduction or recording. Cartridges each having a disk therein are inserted into a disk container through an insertion slot. A movable base, which moves up and down in a housing, is provided with a drive unit, and any of the cartridges can be taken into a cartridge holder by selective movement of the movable base for reproduction. When a disk in any cartridge is being driven for reproduction or recording in the drive unit, the movable base is moved up or down and stopped in a position where an eject member is positioned opposite to any cartridge in the disk container, and the eject member is activated, whereby the cartridge in the disk container can be ejected from the disk container through the insertion portion even if another disk is simultaneously loaded in the disk drive.
