Kaseta

A kaseta (plural: kasety) is a Polish word that directly translates to "cassette" in English. It generally refers to an audio cassette, a magnetic tape sound recording format developed by Philips in the early 1960s. The term encompasses both prerecorded music cassettes and blank cassettes used for recording. While originally intended for dictation, the audio cassette quickly gained popularity for music distribution and home recording, becoming a dominant format for several decades before being largely superseded by digital audio formats. The term may also be used informally to refer to other types of cassettes, though this usage is less common than its association with audio cassettes.
