You are right - you could also put digitised sound on magnetic tape, although magnetic tapes are nowadays an endangered species, fast on their way to becoming an extinct species - as are floppy disks, compact discs etc.
I had in mind ONLY the initial use for magnetic tapes - for analogue recording of sounds.
@ writeaway the fact that you can easily find a translation in a specialised glossary doesn't make a term "non-pro", especially if ONLY people familiar with the subject know what it means exactly.
When you don't know the meaning of a term, you could easily construct a sentence that is grammatically perfectly correct, using the right term found in a good specialised glossary, but that makes no real-life sense whatsoever. Have seen few translations like that.
