Abstract
An ultra-compact tape cassette system includes an ultra-compact cassette and an adaptor, simulating a standard compact cassette, which allows the cassette to be played in a recorder designed for a standard compact cassette. When the cassette is inserted into the adapter, internal reel brakes are automatically de-activated, and the front door of the cassette is opened, to expose the tape for playing. The adapter further comprises devices which simulate recordable tabs and reflect the recordable status of the ultra-compact cassette.
