A cassette tape is a magnetic tape format used for recording and playing back sound, popular in the past but still appreciated today by some enthusiasts. It consists of a small plastic case containing a long, thin strip of magnetically coated plastic that can be wound onto spools for playback or recording purposes. Cassettes were widely used from the 1960s to the late 1990s before being mostly replaced by CDs and digital formats.
