In a pad apparatus for a magnetic tape cassette for bringing a magnetic tape running in one direction into close contact with a core on the surface of a head of a tape recorder for recording or reproducing, a pad has a surface which faces the surface of the head with the magnetic tape between them. Formed in the surface of the pad is an incision which divides it into first and second pad sections of substantially equal area, the first pad section corresponding to a first surface portion of the head including the core in the surface of the head, and the second pad section corresponding to a second surface portion of the head except the core. The pad is provided with urging means for urging it so that the first and second pad sections are brought into close contact with the first and second surface portions, respectively, of the head.
