cassette tapes
Magnetic audio spools
Cassette tapes are magnetic audio recording media housed in plastic cartridges, dominant from the 1970s through the 1990s for music playback and home recording.
The format was portable and recordable, enabling mix tapes and bootleg recordings.
I found a box of old cassette tapes in the attic.
The singular cassette tape or just cassette is more common.
