The Pioneer DRM-3000 will do that. Holds 300 disks, and acts like
a supersized DVD drive. The price tag on it is the only drawback, but
I am unaware of an equivalently functional DVD multidisk drive at a
lower price. There are some somewhat cheaper models, but nothing
which is remotely cost-competitive with hard drive playback.
