tape recordings
Magnetic sound archives
Tape recordings are audio or video captured on magnetic tape.
The term usually refers to older analog recordings made on reel-to-reel or cassette formats: The Nixon tape recordings revealed White House conversations.
Though digital has largely replaced tape, the phrase persists for any recorded audio evidence or archival material.
